Verdi was a great admirer of Shakespeare, and set both Macbeth and Othello, one early in his career, and one very late. Otello, with a libretto by Arrigo Boïto, was a triumph for Verdi, at an age by which most composers stopped their work. Following this great success Verdi announced his retirement. Boïto prepared a libretto for Falstaff, based on stories of that character from three Shakespeare histories, and with the help of others he persuaded Verdi to pick up his pen. Verdi's only previous comic Opera, Un Giorno di Regno (King For a Day) was a fiasco and very nearly ended his career. Falstaff proved to be a masterpiece, now considered one of the few greatest of all comic operas.
