In the evening of the indescribable triumph of the premiere of Otello, Giuseppe Verdi aspires only to become again the quiet peasant of Sant'Agata. But it was without counting on the trick of Arrigo Boito who, during a courtesy visit, evokes the idea of a food opera based on Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor. As his genius librettist suspected, Verdi could not resist such a proposal and set out the set the adventure of Sir John Falstaff to music. It is the responsiveness of Verdi's music to Boito's words that makes all the salt of the work. The score is brimming with dizziness, all the more dazzling because it is born from the pen of an old man of eighty.
