Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher’s bold production probes the psychological underpinnings of Verdi’s dynamic Shakespeare adaptation. At the helm of this performance is maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin, who brings out all the cascading emotions in Verdi’s turbulent score. Tenor Aleksandrs Antonenko sings the title role of the triumphant general who is ultimately brought down by the sly insinuations of his friend Iago (baritone Željko Lučić). Soprano Sonya Yoncheva gives a heartrending performance as Desdemona, Otello’s faithful and long-suffering wife. 

Run time: approximately 2 hours and 29 minutes
