Otello by Verdi from Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona, 2006. Directed by Willy Decker, conductor Antoni Ros-Marbà. Starring José Cura (Otello), Krassimira Stoyanova (Desdemona), Lado Ataneli (Jago), Vittorio Grigolo (Cassio) and Ketevan Kemoklidze (Emilia). Subtitled are Catalan, German, English, Spanish, French and Italian.

Seventy years after the triumph of the Rossini’s Otello ossia il Mauro di Venezia, Verdi premiered his own adaptation of the Shakespeare play at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan.

The Milanese public adored the new opera upon its 1887 premiere, leaving Rossini’s Otello to fall into relative obscurity in favor of Verdi's. While Rossini's work diverged fairly significantly from the Shakespeare source text, Verdi brought his nearer to the Bard, incorporating the infamous handkerchief and the layered psychological portrait of Iago. This staging from the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona is full of fire and passion, stunning set design, and performances worthy of a Willy Decker production...
