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.

La trama
La leggenda di Tristano e Isotta è antichissima, una delle vicende più romantiche del medioevo: narra le avventure di un cavaliere e di una principessa che si innamorano grazie a un magico Elisir. Wagner compose l’opera su ispirazione del testo di Goffredo di Strasburgo e riuscì a portarla in scena nel 1865. È considerata tuttora uno dei capolavori di ogni tempo. La versione che verrà rappresentata, pur mantenendo integre le linee essenziali sia drammaturgiche che musicali, è adattata in modo da esaltare gli aspetti fiabeschi magici e simbolici della vicenda che ha al centro temi importanti legati all’immaginario e all’ideale orizzonte del mondo cavalleresco, come la ricerca dell’amore, il rapporto fra morale pubblica e morale privata, il peccato, la fedeltà.
