Maestro Muti’s exploration of Giuseppe Verdi’s three Shakespeare operas culminates in performances of Falstaff. With Muti’s incomparable musicianship, command of style, and unique understanding of Verdi’s genius, Falstaff is sure to be both a memorable highlight of the season and a crowning achievement of the conductor’s Verdi performances in Chicago. Singing the title role is Ambrogio Maestri, “the most sought after Falstaff singer of his time” (The New York Times).
