Verdi’s Otello is often cited as the greatest Italian opera of the 19th century. Set in Cyprus after a victorious battle against the Turks, Otello, the conquering general and Moor of Venice, revels in his victory with his beautiful wife, Desdemona. But Iago’s envious machinations twist Otello into jealous rage and ultimately murder. The intrigue of this tragedy is revealed and intensified through Boito’s poetic libretto beautifully integrated by Verdi music and brought to life through the collaboration of Maestro Muspratt and Peter Amster.Pre-show lecture with Joanne Pitulla: Sunday, Jan. 27, 1 p.m.
