Verdi: Otello

Giuseppe Verdi's operatic adaptation of William Shakespeare's heartbreaking drama -- the last tragic opera the composer ever wrote -- plays out at the spectacular Arena di Verona, graced with the vocal talents of the world's very best. Russian tenor Vladimir Atlantov takes the title role, soprano Kiri Te Kanawa sings the part of Desdemona, and Italian baritone Piero Cappuccilli brings the wicked Iago to life.
