"Falstaff" tells the story of a portly old knight who gets himself into all sorts of mischief as he tries to sort out his financial troubles by relying on his irresistible charm.

The libretto was created by adapting two of Shakespeare's plays - "The Merry Wives of Windsor" and "Henry IV". The resulting comedy of chaos and confusion turned out to be Verdi's last masterpiece.

Holland Park is spread around 54 acres of what used to be the grounds of Holland House. It now contains a wide variety of sports activities, an Japanese ornamental garden, and an outdoor theatre.

Puccini’s “La Boheme” — London Coliseum – 7th, 12th, 15th, 19th, 22nd and 29th June 2013
“La Boheme” follows the story of two couples: the poet Rodolfo, who falls in love with pretty seamstress Mimi, and the painter Marcello, who enjoys the company of an on-off mistress Musetta. The opera’s exploration of the joy, anguish and heartbreak of young love, and its succession of passionate arias and duets, makes this the ultimate romantic opera.
