The plot
Falstaff is an old, light-hearted puppeteer who, short of money, devises stratagems and intrigues to survive.
His puppets and marionettes, together with the children of the audience, laugh and enjoy themselves at his clumsy tricks, then help him put things right.
We thus enter a timeless world populated by masks, puppets and marionettes, which recalls photographs of times past with the vividness of the present.
A world where everything is a joke (tutto è burla)!
Spoken parts of the performance are in Italian; a basic understanding of the language is adviced.
This event is part of the Educational Programme of the Teatro Massimo for School Groups.
In case seats are available to the general audience, they will be on sale on the same day of performance at the box-office.
