Falstaff Approximate running time 2 hrs. 50 min. An undisputed master of Verdis final comic masterpiece, James Levine conducts Robert Carsens acclaimed production, the first new Met Falstaff since 1964. Ambrogio Maestri sings the role of the blustery Sir John Falstaff, opposite a marvelous ensemble cast. When it comes to theatrical flair, captivating costumes, stage antics and imagination, there are not many Broadway shows to rival the Mets new Falstaff. (New York Times) “What a perfect night. The new production of Verdi’s last work is a delight from the first glimpse of Falstaff waking up after a drunken party to the final scene of the gallant knight standing atop a banquet table ready for another meal… Maestri brings both comedy and a strange majesty to the role. A part so easily played for laughs is given a deeper dimension.” (Bloomberg News)
