About
Verdi takes a break from drama with tonight’s Falstaff full of humour and personality. The eighty-year-old composer has carved a work of gripping energy and striking youth centred around an endearing anti-hero bursting with colour.

Les facéties de Falstaff à la Philharmonie
Nanetta, interprétée par Lisette Oropesa (Gilda surprise la saison dernière à Bastille). Elle aussi soprano, sa voix plus légère et son vibrato serré insufflent une certaine innocence au personnage, gazouillant naïvement pendant que les autres protagonistes montent des stratagèmes pour se piéger. Ses aigus cristallins et sa maîtrise du souffle impressionnent le public, notamment à l'acte III, où, déguisée en Reine des fées, elle produit de merveilleuses envolées lyriques.Nanetta, portrayed by Lisette Oropesa (who was a surprising Gilda last season at Bastille). She too is a soprano, and her lighter voice and tight vibrato infuse the character with a certain innocence, innocently chirping while the other characters concoct schemes to trap each other. Her crystal-clear high notes and her impressive breath control captivate the audience, particularly in Act III, where, dressed as the Fairy Queen, she produces wonderful operatic flights.— Malory Matignon • Olyrix
