Synopsis

Otello

---

Verdi was over seventy when he set about raising Italian opera to a whole new level, succeeding magnificently in combining two traditions in his penultimate masterpiece. Based on Shakespeare's famous tragedy, Otello not only sumps up the history of Italian opera since Rossini but at the same time looks far into the future.
