"Pietro Spagnoli gave us a superb assumption of the title role. Unrecognizable in his costume, by Silvia Aymonino, the voice was in fabulous shape tonight, absolutely even from top to bottom. Indeed, the top rang out thrillingly, more so than any previous exponents of the role I’ve heard. It goes without saying that his diction was exemplary, the role truly sung off the text, using Boito’s libretto for genuine comic effect. His ‘Onore’ monologue exemplified that approach, every word filled with meaning. The voice sounded so healthy. Without a doubt, this Falstaff is the best thing I’ve heard from Spagnoli."
