Otello presented by Opera Hong Kong on 13-16 Oct 2016 at Hong Kong Cultural Centre Grand Theatre.  Otello: Carlo Ventre; Desdemona: Zhang Liping

Gia nella notte densa s'estingue ogni clamor - Otello - 2016 by Calo Ventre & Zhang Liping

To commemorate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, Opera Hong Kong presents one of his four tragedies – Otello. Based on the play, Verdi’s thrilling and philosophically profound opera depicts the catastrophic effects of jealousy.

Set in 15th century, the Moorish-Venetian army general Otello, returns to Cyprus after destroying the Turkish navy. Iago, Otello’s subordinate, resents Otello because Otello appointed Iago’s rival Cassio to be the navy’s captain, a position Iago longs to have. Iago’s envy and anger lead to a series of evil plots against Otello. Tragically, Iago’s scheming works and Otello mistakenly strangles Desdemona, his beautiful and innocent wife, to death.  The die is cast though the truth is revealed at the end. The devastated Otello kills himself.

The full-scale opera is of the most dramatic elements in music portrayed by Giuseppe Verdi. Premiered 16 years later after the success of his Aïda, Verdi’s music builds up the tension and atmosphere that vividly portray the characters, especially Otello and Iago. The whole new production, enhanced by the costumes and props produced by Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, will dazzle the audience with brilliant music and fierce drama.

Starring world class vocalists, along with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Gianluca Martinenghi, award-winning director Maurizio Di Mattia’s whole new production will fascinate you with beautiful music and fierce drama.

為紀念莎士比亞逝世400週年，香港歌劇院將製作其四大悲劇之一的《奧賽羅》。《奧賽羅》的歌劇劇本被視為最精準巧妙的改編創作之一，亦是作曲家威爾第最具戲劇元素的代表作。

十五世紀的塞浦路斯，摩爾裔威尼斯將軍奧賽羅擊潰土耳其軍凱旋而歸。他的下屬亞哥對其委任卡西奧為海軍軍長之舉非常不滿，心存妒恨，於是佈下一連串的詭計報復奧賽羅。奧賽羅聽信亞哥的誣衊，深信他心愛的妻子蒂斯蒂夢娜出軌，一怒之下把她掐死。最終，奧賽羅得悉蒂斯蒂夢娜是清白，傷心欲絕隨她而去。

是次製作邀來兩個國際級演員陣容。烏拉圭男高音雲特飾演奧賽羅，其美麗的音色享譽樂壇，尤其在高音區從容不迫，水銀瀉地，加上他舞台上精湛的演技，收放自如，演繹浦契尼及威爾第的英雄角色栩栩如生，令人拍案叫絕。另一位同樣演唱奧賽羅的美國男高音泰納自1992年作首個專業演出，在多個國際聞名的歌劇院均獲得熱烈掌聲及評價。飾演蒂斯蒂夢娜的中國著名女高音張立萍，曾與多個國際級歌劇院合作，為首位簽約環球音樂的華人古典歌唱家。塞佩是當今意大利歌劇界備受矚目的年青女高音之一，於2015年榮獲歌劇奧斯卡的新世代女高音殊榮，同樣會演唱蒂斯蒂夢娜一角。本劇最大的奸角分別由阿根廷年青男中音托斯及中國著名男中音孫礫飾演。2007年出道的托斯，於2013年演唱《奧賽羅》亞哥一角一鳴驚人。2008年，孫氏主演的歌劇《霸王別姬》在美國六地巡演，獲得高度評價，更藉此劇摘得「文華表演獎」。被譽為亞洲最頂尖的古典管弦樂團之一，香港管弦樂團將攜手與香港歌劇院合唱團及香港歌劇院兒童合唱團，在意籍指揮大師馬田倫基的捧下演出。
