Otello: Otello Verdi

He's a beloved leader, a distinguished military commander and a devoted husband. But when an envious subordinate introduces the notion—just the slightest whispered hint—that Othello's wife Desdemona might possibly be unfaithful, it's enough to send him into a downward spiral of fury and murder.

Verdi master James Conlon takes command of the truly epic musical forces. The powerhouse cast is led by Artist in Residence Russell Thomas in the title role (considered the "Mount Everest" of the dramatic tenor repertoire). Rachel Willis-Sørensen makes a highly anticipated company debut as the doomed Desdemona and Igor Golovatenko is the sadistic Iago, slyly explpoiting Otello's one fatal flaw: jealousy.

"An Otello for Our Time" - Now to June 4 Only!

He's a beloved leader, a distinguished military commander and a devoted husband. But when an envious subordinate introduces the notion—just the slightest whispered hint—that Otello's wife Desdemona might possibly be unfaithful, it's enough to send him into a downward spiral of fury and murder.

Hailed as the pinnacle of the Italian operatic repertoire, Verdi’s transformation of the original Shakespeare play is a powerful drama of uncontrolled human emotion at its most extreme. Verdi's musical portrait of Otello’s descent into a tortured heart of darkness is explicit in every chilling detail as he destroys all in life that he holds dear.

Verdi master James Conlon takes command of the truly epic musical forces including a cast of over 100 performers. The powerhouse cast is led by Artist in Residence Russell Thomas in the title role (considered the "Mount Everest" of the dramatic tenor repertoire). Rachel Willis-Sørensen makes a highly anticipated company debut as the doomed Desdemona and Igor Golovatenko is the sadistic Iago, slyly exploiting Otello's one fatal flaw: jealousy.

"There was a full cast of powerhouse singers.  [Russell] Thomas as a compelling Otello… his burnished tenor brings a heartbreaking beauty even to big, overwrought emotions." -  Mark Swed,  LA Times

English

Es un líder amado, un comandante militar distinguido y un esposo devoto. Pero cuando un subordinado envidioso introduce la noción , solo la más mínima insinuación susurrada , de que la esposa de Othello, Desdémona, posiblemente podría serle infiel, es suficiente para enviarlo a una espiral descendente de furia y asesinato.

Aclamada como la cúspide del repertorio operístico italiano, la transformación de Verdi de la obra original de Shakespeare es un poderoso drama de emoción humana descontrolada en su forma más extrema. El retrato musical de Verdi del descenso de Otello a un torturado corazón de oscuridad es explícito en cada detalle escalofriante mientras destruye todo lo que aprecia en la vida.

El maestro de Verdi, James Conlon, toma el mando de las fuerzas musicales verdaderamente épicas. El poderoso elenco está encabezado por el artista residente Russell Thomas en el papel principal (considerado el "Monte Everest" del repertorio de tenores dramáticos). Rachel Willis-Sørensen hace un debut muy esperado en la compañía como la condenada Desdémona e Igor Golovatenko es el sádico Iago, que explota astutamente el único defecto fatal de Otello: los celos.
