Bryn Terfel is a magnificent Falstaff in a fine revival |

This production is a scrumptious, musical meal that would fill even the colossal Sir John Falstaff himself to satiation |

The two main male roles, Falstaff and Ford, are beautifully played and sung by Bryn Terfel and Simon Keenlyside |

A lavish production |

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 |
