Falstaff was Verdi's second and last joint project with Arrigo Boito (the first was Otello), who adapted Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor into the libretto, also incorporating several scenes from Henry IV , parts 1 and 2.  The score is like nothing else he wrote. Verdi really captures the essence of Sir John Falstaff's character: a man so essentially full of himself that he manages to take credit even when he is the object of humiliating public ridicule. Verdi relished the opportunity to write a comic opera (only two of his twenty eight operas were comedies), and produced a witty, dynamic and elegant piece like no other in the entire operatic repertoire.
