  Falstaff, Grange Park Opera, review: Bryn Terfel is creaking, but Verdi’s magic is strong

  There’s a certain circularity to the workings of the country-house opera world. For over half a century, Glyndebourne held sway, but since the establishment of Garsington, followed by other summer-opera outfits in the 1990s, there has been fairly regular recycling.
