Otello | Giuseppe Verdi | Opera 2022

Otello, a lyrical drama in four acts staged for the first time in Milan on February 5, 1887, was born from the maturity of Verdi’s immeasurable talent, a very skilful perveyor of scenic effects and a profound reader of the human soul. Indeed, Verdi’s theater puts man at the center of his universe; man, like Otello, who lives his short and precarious existence blinded by passions, torn between two absolute abstractions: the most flawless and virtuous, Desdemona, and the intelligent, cynical and evil incarnate, Jago.
