Director Calixto Bieitos take on Falstaff is a black comedy that exposes the tragicomic aspect of human existence. He casts the eponymous hero of the piece as a charismatic and perverse pleasure-seeker, a melancholy and corpulent bon vivant, whose provocations hold up a mirror to our society.
The new Hamburg production boasts a world-class cast with Ambrogio Maestri a Falstaff for our times in the title role and Maija Kovalevska as Alice Ford.
