About

Conductor Daniele Gatti makes his first DNO appearance, leading the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Director Robert Carsen (Dialogues des Carmélites, Fidelio, Carmen) is well known to Amsterdam audiences. In the title role is today’s ultimate Falstaff: the Italian baritone Ambrogio Maestri. This production has been successfully staged in London, Milan and New York, and after Amsterdam it will travel to Toronto. In keeping with tradition, one performance of this June production will be simulcast on a large screen in Amsterdam’s Oosterpark.

The June 28th performance will be performed live on the radio at 8:00PM CET (UTC+1:00)

Reviews

NATIONAL OPERA AMSTERDAM 2013-2014: GIUSEPPE VERDI'S FALSTAFF of 7 JUIN 2014

Lisette Oropesa est l'exemple même de chanteuse américaine très préparée, techniquement sans failles, mais qui a aussi une vraie personnalité scénique, lumineuse, engagée.

—  Wanderer  •  Blog du Wanderer

Falstaff, berooide veelvraat die harten steelt

Lisette Oropesa, als jonge bakvis Nannetta uithuilend bij een bak ijs, klinkt puur en zuiver. In de verkleedscène in het bos is ze een engelachtige Feeënkoningin.

—  Floris Don  •  NRC Handelsblad

Food, Glorious Food: Falstaff at the Holland Festival Is a Feast for the Eyes and Ears

With her beautifully floated, vibrant soprano Ms Oropesa was simply bewitching in Nannetta's Fairy Queen aria, “Sul fil d’un soffio etesio”

—  Jenny Camilleri  •  Bachtrack

Performance History

Lisette has given 25 performances as Nannetta.
