There's a lot of fat-shaming in Verdi's Falstaff, but the opera has never really been a candidate for revision or cancellation, probably because the victim of those insults refuses to see himself as one.Eloquent and self-aggrandizing, Falstaff proudly identifies with his stature.This is my kingdom, he proclaims, patting his belly, I will enlarge it.
