Falstaff (Royal Opera House)

Rating:
Summary: Very enjoyable
Review: This is exactly what comic opera should be. It is perfect. The men are great. Terfel is very good as Falstaff. The true star of this production is the beautiful and captivating Barbara Frittoli. She is truly sublime. Buy this, it is very enjoyable. Very well done in every way.

Summary: Very good!
Review: This is the only version of Falstaff I've ever seen or heard and I think it's pretty [darn] good! The very bright sets and costumes take a little bit of time getting used to, but once you do, they are very effective and fun.
I think the cast is excellent! Bryn Terfel obviously loves the role and is determined to be a lovable rogue. His singing is gorgeous, as usual. Barbara Frittoli as Alice Ford is not my first choice, but I like her. All the other cast members are wonderful as well. My personal favourite is the man who played Fenton. I can't remember his name and ...isn't printing the cast list, but he was a very good actor with a beautiful lyric voice. It's also nice to finally see a black tenor on the opera stage (who's not singing Otello).

Review: Why is Giuseppi Verdi's OPERA "Falstaff" given an "R" rating?????
If this is NOT Verdi's opera, then WHAT is it?
