《法斯塔夫》是威爾第的最後一部作品。品嚐過人生的複雜滋味，晚年的威爾第向莎士比亞借來靈感，擷取《亨利四世》第一 部與第二部的部份情節 ，再加入《 溫莎的風流婦人》的劇情 ，以輕快的筆觸寫下《法斯塔夫》。 著名文學評論家哈洛•卜倫（ Harold Bloom ）曾讚譽《法斯塔夫》是莎劇中最「具原創性且光彩炫目」的角色 ，詼諧、顢頇、天真、可惡，集所有矛盾性格於一身；這樣複雜的角色在威爾第的巧筆揮灑之下，荒唐行徑中 融入抒情風格，更讓 《法斯塔夫》成為一齣耐人尋味的劇作，《法斯塔夫》於是成為世界各大歌劇院的基本戲碼。
在本場演出，導演魏瑛娟將 重點放在深度挖掘角色的複雜性格 ，經由角色之間的互動，挖掘人性的各種面向。大量運用金屬及透明玻璃等現代材質， 搭上顏色強烈的方形或圓形色塊裝置 ， 經營出蒙德里安繪畫風格的視覺感受 ，整體演出繽紛熱鬧，如同一場嘉年華盛會。劇場導演魏瑛娟為紐約大學教育劇場碩士，一九八五年開始劇場創作，編導發表作品三十餘齣，擅長挖掘人性，並著力於開發劇場美學。魏瑛娟和 NSO 音樂總監簡文彬共同打造《法斯塔夫》，打破古典印象，肯定會再掀起一波熱潮，你一定不能錯過！
Having experienced a complicated life, Giuseppe Verdi in his twilight years wrote his final work, Falstaff , after Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor and King Henry IV Parts 1 and 2. Literary critic Harold Bloom once praised this comedy among Shakespeare's prodigious output for showing his most original, colorful and dazzling characterization -- funny, stupid, naive, loathsome, and, in short, full of contradictions. Verdi penned beautifully an enjoyable opera and rendered it worthy of inclusion in every major world opera house's repertoire.
Director Ying-Chuan Wei will dig deep into the complicated roles and through the interaction of the characters reveal different human facets. Metal and transparent glass installations, round or square in shape and strong in color, will be introduced in this production to achieve the visual effect of a Mondrian painting. The overall atmosphere will be like a festive carnival.
Wei earned her master's degree in theater from the New York University. Since 1985, she has scripted and directed more than 30 works, each time exploring human nature. Wei joins hands with conductor Wen-Pin Chien in staging Falstaff . This opera promises to be a departure from the classical version.
