Otello - Schedule, Program & Tickets

Dramma lirico in four acts
Text by Arrigo Boito
after William Shakespeare
Language Italian

Desdemona has fallen in love with the foreign general Otello and married him against her father's wishes.

Iago, a scheming, malicious ensign of Otello's, wants to destroy him. And he actually succeeds in doing so in a clever way: he is able to gradually convince Otello that his idol Desdemona is cheating on him. It is only after Otello has murdered his wife in a fit of hatred and jealousy that he realizes her innocence. Full of remorse, Otello stabs himself and, dying, bids farewell to his beloved dead wife with a kiss.
