In Reply to: RE: Well, just sat through all of Verdi's Aida. Grand? Yes, but.... posted by jdaniel@jps.net on January 19, 2016 at 12:09:47
IMHO, Verdi was not a natural comedian, and Falstaff, to me, is an opera that I respect without loving it. Otello is far better, again IMHO. I also have a great deal of love for Don Carlo, even with the substandard ending, Ballo, and Simone Boccanegra, all of which I have seen live. I have seen Falstaff live twice, by the way.
Follow Ups:
I think much of the last act of Falstaff is hilarious when well done.
I think Falstaff is the next greatest opera after the big Mozarts.
Toscanini's performance, of course.
