Latonia Moore sings Ave Maria from Otello by Verdi, at Bergen National Opera (2017).

Presented by Bergen National Opera and Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra

With storm, lightning and thunder, we are thrown into the famous tragedy and are led further through the human wanderings where fierce vocal performances surprise us from act to act.

Otello defends the Cypriots against Turkish invasion. Iago is ambitious, manipulative and cruel. Desdemona, Othello's wife, is portrayed as unfaithful. A complex story of innuendo and false evidence leads to a terrible tragedy for all three.

The opera is based on Shakespeare's famous play. Music and drama are closely linked in a web of alternating emotional outbursts. The Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra is on stage as the drama unfolds around them in perhaps the strongest of all Verdi's operas.

Outstanding singers such as Stuart Skelton, Latonia Moore and Lester Lynch are returning to Bergen.

"Not since Domingo in his prime can this music have been sung with more complete assurance" - The Telegraph on Stuart Skelton as Otello at the English National Opera

"A remarkable voice, wonderful in its amplitude at full throttle, yet also capable of sustaining beautiful, rapt pianissimos. This is one of the finest performances of the role to be heard in London for many years."
The Guardian on Latonia Moore

English

Otello forsvarer kypriotene mot tyrkisk invasjon. Jago er ambisiøs, manipulerende og grusom. Desdemona, Otellos kone, fremstilles som utro. En kompleks historie av insinuasjon og falske bevis fører til en forferdelig tragedie for alle tre.
Les mer om handlingen

Operaen er basert på Shakespeares berømte skuespill. Musikk og drama er knyttet tett sammen i en vev av vekslende emosjonelle utbrudd. Bergen Filharmoniske Orkester er på scenen mens dramatikken utfolder seg rundt dem i den kanskje sterkeste av alle Verdis operaer.

Fremragende sangere som Stuart Skelton, Latonia Moore og Lester Lynch kommer tilbake til Bergen.
