The Berlin State Opera reopened in September 2017 after seven years of extensive restoration work. The following month, on the anniversary of German reunification, the opera house celebrated its opening with a performance of Schumann's \"Scenes from Goethe's Faust\" (ARTHAUS MUSIK\/10-9419BD), conducted by music director Daniel Barenboim. In December of the same year, a special program was organized to celebrate the 275th anniversary of the opening of the opera house, which was followed by a spectacular opening. Included in this product is a reprise of Verdi's \"Falstaff\" directed by Mario Martone, which was unveiled as a new production during a special performance in December 2017.In \"Falstaff,\" Martone, an accomplished film director, portrays Falstaff as a free-spirited man who squeezes every last pleasure out of life in the counterculture and hippie culture of the German \"68 Movement. Originally a fat knight, Falstaff is here staged as a leather-jacketed, rocker-like figure sitting in a seedy, neon-lit local bar. Falstaff sends \"identical love letters\" to two women, but they are entrusted to a marijuana-smoking extra, who receives the letters and rides off on his bicycle in a daze. And with Nadine Sierra as Nannetta in a bikini by the pool, Martone has created a stylish, contemporary production of an opera full of wit and exuberance. The singers are all excellent, especially Michael Volle, whose exuberant, unparalleled vocal range is a real treat. Francesco DeMuro's sweetly beautiful voice, Nadine Sierra's smooth singing, and the ensemble of Jan Martinique and Stefan Rügamer were also especially well received.It was also a performance that demonstrated Barenboim's exceptional skill as an opera conductor.
