Verdi's Falstaff in Innsbruck: A festive theater evening with wit and charm
Verdi's Falstaff in Innsbruck: A festive theater evening with wit and charm
The Tyrolean Landestheater in Innsbruck experienced an impressive premiere with Giuseppe Verdi's lively comedy "Falstaff" on October 5, 2024. Director Tobias Ribitzki strongly focused on the original work and its high -quality musical and textual elements, which led to an unprecedented performance. The main character, Sir John Falstaff, a lively character in the advanced phase of life, is portrayed by Johannes Maria Wimmer with a brilliance.
Falstaff, an overweight and complacent lively, is the prototype of the daredevil who gets caught up in a self -caused complication. His attempts to penetrate into the hearts of women and outsmart any husbands seem ridiculous when the women successfully thwart him. His failing plan leads in a humorous chaos that not only captivates the stage, but also the audience.
staging and stage
The stage presentation was characterized by a reduced but stylish setting. With a simple boot floor that rises slightly and subtle, dark walls, the staging set the right framework for history. Characteristic props such as the paravent and an underwear chest created a humorous atmosphere. The fairy scene was particularly impressive, where a sparkling cosmos backdrop strengthened the magical atmosphere.
In combination with the changing costumes that reminded of different epochs, a visual experience was created that took the audience into the world of comedy. All costumes came from Stefan Rieckhoff and contributed to the overall atmosphere of the staging.
musical performance
In addition to the acting qualities, the musical execution, led by Matthew Toogood, was another highlight of the premiere. The Tyrolean Symphony Orchestra Innsbruck enriched the idea with an inspired style of play and a transparent sound that brought Verdi's compositions into its own complexity. Toogood was masterful to emphasize the various layers of sound and rhythms of the music, which contributed to the successful performance.The vocal interludes of the actors, in particular the main actor Wimmer, were recognized equally by the audience and critics. Wimmer's voice, which shows changing facets from intimate to majestically, Falstaff gives an extraordinary depth. He is supported by a talented ensemble that contributes to the comedy and emotion of the performance.
The role of the female characters, especially Cristiana Oliveira as Alice Ford and Camilla Lehmeier as Meg Page, contributed to the strong performance. These actresses not only brought their musical talents, but also their acting skills to accept the challenges that Falstaff offers them.
The successful cooperation between the direction, stage design, costumes and music means that the performance of "Falstaff" in the Tyrolean State Theater became an unforgettable experience for everyone present. This became clear by the positive response of the audience and the enthusiasm of the critics, which praised the commitment of the entire group and the quality of the staging.
