Gianandrea Noseda speculates that his artistic personality combines “German richness and precision, Russian dark sound and storytelling, and the spirit and cantabile of Italianità. And that dark Russian sound can bring Italian opera to life.”

Experience the thunderous music of Otello in the hands of our opera-loving Music Director. Verdi’s score offers a thrilling exploration of uncontrolled human emotion at its most extreme. Hailed as a pinnacle of Italian operatic repertoire, Verdi’s transformation of the Shakespeare play was described by The New York Times as an “ascent towards a higher musical plane” following its 1887 premiere at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala.
