Otello

Approximate running time 3 hrs. 5 min.

Even in a career filled with musical-theatrical masterpieces, Otello is often considered Verdi’s towering achievement. The composer’s profound musical insights into Shakespeare’s tragedy illuminate the hero’s tragic journey to self-destruction. Johan Botha brings his clarion tenor to the title role, and the extraordinary Renée Fleming returns to one of her most celebrated parts, the doomed Desdemona. Semyon Bychkov conducts.
