Otello - Schedule, Program & Tickets
Otello
Opera in two parts, four acts, in Italian, with Hungarian, English and Italian subtitles
Performance time: 3 hours 15 minutes, 1 intermission.
After Verdi retired at the age of 58, he wrote no new operas for the next 15 years. It took a decisive dinner in Milan and the persistence of music publisher Giulio Ricordi to persuade the maestro to compose a new work, which he only described as a “chocolate project.”
Otello is a soldier, a general and a 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 that false friends can easily exploit – as is his jealousy.
Otello is a masterpiece, an extraordinary work of creative genius in which the composer sets Shakespeare's tragedy to music in his own unmistakable Verdi voice. The new production of the opera is directed by the internationally renowned Italian artist Stefano Poda.
