Starring Jonas Kaufmann and Gregory Kunde in the title role, Verdi's impassioned opera in four acts is based on Shakespeare's play about a Venetian general who is tricked into doubting the fidelity of his wife Desdemona. Olivier Award-winning director Keith Warner creates a new production of Otello, a major work in the Royal Opera House repertory, replacing Elijah Moshinsky's traditional, period-costume staging, which had been in service since 1987. Soprano Maria Agresta stars as Desdemona and baritone Ludovic Tezier as Otello's nemesis, Iago, under the baton of conductor Antonio Pappano.
About Royal Opera House
This impressive building in the heart of Covent Garden has been playing host to major stars of the classical music world since 1858. The third theatre to be located on this site, today's Royal Opera House is the result of a reconstruction in the 1990s (although the main auditorium is part of the original building).
