Verdi's 'Falstaff' with Maestri, Cavalleti and Cedolins from Amsterdam

Verdi's 'Falstaff' is an opera in three acts. The libretto was adapted by Arrigo Boito from Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor and scenes from Henry IV, parts 1 and 2. The plot revolves around the thwarted, sometimes farcical, efforts of the fat knight, Sir John Falstaff, to seduce two married women for mercenary reasons. Performers:

Sir John Falstaff: Ambrogio Maestri.
Ford: Massimo Cavalletti.
Fenton: Paolo Fanale.
Dottore Cajus: Carlo Bosi.
Bardolfo: Patrizio Saudelli.
Pistola: Giovanni Battista Parodi.
Mrs. Alice Ford: Fiorenza Cedolins.
Nannetta: Lisette Oropesa.
Mrs. Quickly: Daniela Barcellona.
Mrs. Meg Page: Maite Beaumont.

Chorus of Dutch National Opera. Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Conductor: Daniele Gatti.
