Otello - Verdi (opera)
Teatro Gran Liceu

Willy Decker’s profound and intense production features great Argentine tenor José Cura, one of the world’s leading interpreters of Verdi’s music. Audiences at Teatro Gran Liceu, Barcelona will long remember Cura’s intense Otello; he is one of the few tenors of his generation to triumph in the formidable role. OTELLO is a hot-blooded opera that also features shining performances from the mellifluous Georgian baritone Lado Ataneli as the scheming Iago and the magnificent Bulgarian soprano Krassimira Stoyanova as the gentle Desdemona. OTELLO is the first of Verdi’s two late Shakespearian operas and stands as one of the great masterpieces of grand opera.
