After the success of Aida, Verdi went into retirement. It took Giulio Ricordi several years to convince him to take on Otello. This was Verdi's first collaboration with composer Arrigo Boito, who wrote the libretto based on Shakespeare. (Their second and final collaboration was Falstaff.)  It took more than five years for the opera to be ready for its premiere in 1887. The score is the work of a master composer fully in control of the story's dramatic arc, able to convey nuance and depth of characterization, and capable of further illuminating Shakespeare's own work.
