Verdi's
Otello. Shakespeare's
story, Verdi's music, an extraordinary production and the soaring voices
of Opera Australia. Harry Kupfer, legendary director of the Vienna State
Opera, has created a production which exposes the psychological storm
within the hearts of Otello and Desdemona, and set designer Hans
Schavernoch's opulent but war-torn palace mirrors their chaotic
emotions. As for the music, it is magnificent, deliciously poised
between surging choruses, exquisite arias and the heady passion of the
main protagonists. Performed in Italian with English surtitles.
