More than 130 years after its first performance in Madrid, Verdi’s Otello returns to the stage of the Teatro Real in a production directed by David Alden. Based on Shakespeare’s tragedy, the opera explores themes of jealousy, betrayal, and fatal passion through some of Verdi’s most intense and dramatic music.
Leading the cast is Brian Jagde as Otello, alongside Asmik Grigorian as Desdemona and Igor Golovatenko as Iago. Nicola Luisotti conducts the Teatro Real Orchestra and Youth Choir in this staging, which also features Airam Hernàndez as Cassio. Available live on Medici.tv, the performance offers an opportunity to experience Verdi’s penultimate masterpiece in the house where it was first performed in Spain in 1890.
