Sept. 15 – A “cheering stadium” and twenty minutes of applause greeted Maestri’s Falstaff at the Teatro Municipal of Sao Paulo in Brazil; while last December, he celebrated his 200th Falstaff performance at the Metropolitan in New York. And now, Ambrogio Maestri is ready to for another special event at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. The Italian baritone will go on stage to perform in the last masterpiece by Giuseppe Verdi, in a new production conducted by Roberto Paternostro and directed by Arturo Gama Terrazas. “At this point, strong of my 200 performances, I can say that Sir John has become for me a life partner – says Maestri – He is a mirror in which I have seen my personal, artistic and performing skills grow; he is a character that somehow represents my conscience.” The show will remain at the Teatro Colón of Buenos Aires for September 19, 20, 21 and 23.
