Otello - Schedule, Program & Tickets
Otello
Opera in two parts, four acts, in Italian, with Hungarian and English surtitles
After retiring at the age of 58, Verdi did not want to write any new operas for the next 15 years. It took a crucial dinner in Milan and the perseverance of music publisher Giulio Ricordi to persuade the maestro to compose a new work.
The Moor Otello is a soldier, general and loving husband who, despite all his achievements, is not accepted by the people of Venice: he remains the eternal “black” foreigner. The vulnerability of the stranger trying to fit into society is something easily exploited by fake friends - as is their jealousy.
Otello is a masterpiece, an extraordinary work by a creative genius, in which the composer sets Shakespeare's tragedy to the music of his own distinctive Verdean voice. The new production of the opera is directed by the internationally renowned Italian artist Stefano Poda.
