THE OPERA Otello, Giuseppe Verdi's penultimate opera, is the culmination of a lifetime of opera masterpieces and his swan song in the tragic genre. Keeping closely to Shakespeares play, Otello follows the tragedy of the Moorish generals love for his beautiful wife Desdemona, his deception by the incomparably evil Iago, and the terrifying consequences of doubt and jealousy.

The stunning young Italian soprano Maria Luigia Borsi is Desdemona in her U.S. debut. On the podium is acclaimed maestro Robert Spano who has, according to The New York Times, that great skill in a conductor of making every performance radiate joy.
