Otello
Director: Franco Zeffirelli
(1986, 118 minutes)
Legendary Italian director Franco Zeffirelli (1923–2019) and renowned tenor Plácido Domingo unite for this lavish production of composer Giuseppe Verdi’s classic opera based on Shakespeare’s Othello. Victorious general Otello (Domingo) returns in triumph to his adopted city of Venice, but not everyone is poised to give him a hero’s welcome. As his wife, Desdemona (Katia Ricciarelli), lavishes him with affection, Iago (Justino Díaz) plots his downfall.
* The exhibition Verdi: Creating Otello and Falstaff—Highlights from the Ricordi Archive will be open for program attendees.
