Falstaff is a comedy opera, in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi, adapted by Arrigo Boito, inspired from Shakespeare's play The Merry Wives of Windsor. It was Verdi's last opera, written in the composer's eight decade, and only the second in his twenty-six operas to be comedy. It also happens to be third opera to be based on Shakespearean play, and like his first adaptation of the English playwright, Macbeth, including in it the famous 'Tutto nel mondo e burla' ('All the world's a joke').
It was first performed on February 9, 1893 at La Scala in Milan, Italy to great success. Although, not as immensely popular as the works that immediately preceded it, Aida and Otello, Falstaff has long been a critical favorite for its refinement and melodic invention.
Act I takes place in a room at the Garter Inn, where Falstaff is surrounded by his servants Bardolph, Pistol and the innkeeper. At that moment arrives Dr. Caius and accuses him of robbery, but the excited doctor is soon ejected. Falstaff hands a letter to his servants and asks him to deliver it to Mistress Ford and to Mistress Page. This letter is a purport of Falstaff's love for the respectable women, are with the intension of seducing them for money. Bardolph and Pistlo refuse to obey him, claiming that 'honor' prevents them from doing so. So, Falstaff sends those letter by a page instead. In next scene, in Ford's garden, Alice and Meg have received Falstaff's letters, both of similar contents. They exchange them and in conjunction with Mistress Quickly, resolve to punish the knight. Act II occurs in the same room as of first scene. Bardolph and Pistil, pretend for forgiveness for the past transgressions, announce to their master the arrival of Mistress Quickly, who is there to deliver an invitation. Ford is now introduced to Signor Fontana, who offers money to the fat knight in return of him being interceded with Mistress Ford. Falstaff agrees and while he attires himself in splendid array in his chamber, Ford is consumed with jealousy.
