Otello: Teatro Real
About the Event
Based on the Shakespeare drama, Verdi's 'Otello' confronts the Teatro Real audience with a story of jealousy, fear, and destruction. The star‐studded cast features Gregory Kunde and Ermonela Jaho.
David Alden's critically acclaimed production removes the focus of 'Otello' from the physical traits of the 'Moor of Venice', bringing the psychological drama to the forefront instead.
Practical Information
Please note: In some areas of the Teatro Real, some seats have a partially obstructed view of the stage. Teatro Real recommends category B for the finest and completely unobstructed view of the performance.
