Royal Opera House: Otello

We will be showing Verdi’s Otello live from the Royal Opera House on Wednesday 28th June at 7.15pm

World-famous tenor Jonas Kaufmann makes his role debut as Otello in Verdi’s passionate retelling of Shakespeare’s great tragedy of jealousy, deception and murder. Soprano Maria Agresta will be his Desdemona and Marco Vratogna his nemesis Iago in a new production by Olivier Award- winning director Keith Warner. Please note that Ludovic Tézier was originally listed to play Iago but has had to withdraw for health reasons.

A major work of the opera repertory, Verdi’s Otello draws on the full forces of the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, the Royal Opera Chorus and this stellar line-up of principal singers, with exquisite duets, emotionally potent solo numbers and thrilling choruses. Particular highlights include Otello and Desdemona’s rapturous love duet and Desdemona’s poignant ‘Willow Song’. Royal Opera Music Director Antonio Pappano conducts this Italian masterpiece.
