Damiano Michieletto is full of creative ideas for blending illusion and reality.

Ambrogio Maestri is perfect for the role of Falstaff. He's a big man with a powerful voice, a flair for drama, and a feel for Verdi's style.

The characters in the comedy seem like shadows from the past, and now the drama can begin - a mix of dreams and reality.

Damiano Michieletto, an Italian director, has come up with a surprising and imaginative staging that moves the action of Verdi's masterpiece from a made-up London to the Casa Verdi, a special care home full of memories of the past and impressions of the present.
