Renato Palumbo returns with another Verdi classic, with the Albanian soprano Ermonela Jaho, and the tenor Gregory Kunde as Otello.

David Alden approaches the staging of Othello from the perspective of Giuseppe Verdi’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s text. He dramatizes the impossible love between Desdemona, a beautiful young woman of high society, and the soldier Othello.
 
Otello’s conflict is internal: insecurity, which has led so many men to commit the worst atrocities. We then witness the tragic disintegration of the hero, locked in the destructive cycle of fate.
