Falstaff

English

By (author): Giuseppe Verdi

Translated by: Andrew Porter

A lyric comedy unlike any other, wrote Verdi about his last opera. That the last work of a composer who was almost notorious for his preference for tragic and gloomy subjects should be a brilliant human comedy was and remains one of the wonders of music. Michael Rose considers its status in Italian comic opera tradition. Davis Cairns pours his enthusiasm for the piece into a detailed and illuminating musical analysis. Andrew Porter, whose translation almost matches Boitos original libretto for elegance and wit, explains the challenges and risks of the undertaking in his fascinating introduction. Contents: Introduction, Nicholas John; A Lyric Comedy Unlike Any Other, Michael Rose; Full of Nimble, Fiery and Delectable Shapes, David Cairns; Translating Falstaff, Andrew Porter; Falstaff: Libretto by Arrigo Boito; Falstaff: English Translation by Andrew Porter See more
