Otello - Verdi - Opera Australia
Shakespeare’s tragic story, Verdi’s music and the soaring voices of Dennis O’Neill, Cheryl Barker and Peter Coleman-Wright. Sparks will fly.
Otello has triumphed over the Turks, but his real enemy lies at home. His ensign Iago covets absolute power and sets out to play Otello and his wife Desdemona in a deadly game of sex and politics.
Harry Kupfer’s acclaimed production sets Verdi’s stormy score in a war-torn palace where friends become foes and lovers become victims. Dennis O’Neill and Cheryl Barker, as Otello and Desdemona, fling passionate duets into the furthest reaches of the theatre, Peter Coleman-Wright, makes his role debut as the dark and fascinating Iago and Simon Hewett conducts Verdi’s exhilarating music, a giant of the romantic repertoire.
