Otello Verdi

Opera in four acts to a libretto by Arrigo Boito, based on the play  Othello  by William Shakespeare

Otello  is the opera that, at its first audition at La Scala in Milan, in 1887, caused the audience to call the performers back on stage in applause, no less than 20 times, by exclaiming: "VIVA Verdi ! " – composer whose name is synonymous with the opera.

The quintessential Verdian creation represents a stunning fusion of music and dramatic art, a masterpiece that stands out not only for its philosophical depth, but also proves to be disturbing and thrilling from a theatrical point of view.

The story of the famous libretto belongs to Shakespeare, which centers on the hero Otello, whose manifestations are surprised when his jealousy gets out of control, when he thinks that his adored and candid love, Desdemona, has disappointed him. Thus, a dark and earth-shattering revenge is triggered, which takes love to the border between the divine and the infernal, leading to a tragic and unjust ending.

Unusually, the symbol of this tragedy, entrusted to carry the narrative thread, is not an object that suggests gravity, drama, but takes the form of a simple handkerchief; the fact that a seemingly insignificant object has a decisive weight in the work argues in favor of the sensitivity of jealous minds and small incidents that, hyperbolized on a psychological level, turn into "evidence" of love or betrayal.
