Un gran Falstaff en Londres |
24 Jul 18 / Beckmesser |
Sir Bryn Terfel amply fills the stage |
18 Jul 18 / Express |
Bryn Terfel is a magnificent Falstaff in a fine revival |
15 Jul 18 / The Observer |
This production is a scrumptious, musical meal that would fill even the colossal Sir John Falstaff himself to satiation |
13 Jul 18 / A Younger Theatre |
The two main male roles, Falstaff and Ford, are beautifully played and sung by Bryn Terfel and Simon Keenlyside |
12 Jul 18 / Express |

Plodding and earthbound, despite Bryn Terfel |

Go to Covent Garden and be reminded of Verdi’s genius; and see Terfel’s remarkable Falstaff |
10 Jul 18 / Seen and Heard |
A lavish production |
10 Jul 18 / The Stage |
In every department Bryn Terfel is a winner: height, bulk, vocal flights, endlessly comic eyebrows and stares |
10 Jul 18 / The Times |
Ultimately there is an infectious bonhomie about Carsen’s staging |
9 Jul 18 / Classical Source |
Despite an excellent cast, this production fails to scintillate |
9 Jul 18 / Telegraph |
