GIUSEPPE VERDI

With his 2016 rendition of Verdi’s Falstaff, Bryn Terfel achieved a level of peak-performance that catapulted possibilities for Verbier Festival opera performances into the stratosphere. As stated by Peter Krause of Concerti: “You can tell from every fiber of his being and every phrase of his singing… [Terfel] penetrates the role with a vocal force and a declamatory differentiation that he has continued to refine since his CD recording, and with which he outshines even the great Italian representatives of then and now.” Together with a charming cast (Erika Grimaldi, Luca Salsi, Ying Fang, Atalla Ayan, Yvonne Naef), Jesús López Cobos leads an unforgettable account of this comedic gem.
