Otello is a four-act opera by Giuseppe Verdi, set to a libretto by Arrigo Boito, and based off William Shakespeare's play Othello. It was Verdi's penultimate opera, one he wrote after Aida and which he came out of retirement to compose, and it had a successful premiere at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan on February 5th, 1887. It is also the second of Verdi's three Shakespeare operas, the others being Macbeth and Falstaff.The opera follows Shakespeare's play quite closely. Otello, a Moorish general, arrives in Cyprus after a victorious battle against the Turks. Unbeknownst to him, he's acquired two enemies: his ensign Iago, for promoting Cassio to captain of the Venetian navy, and Roderigo, who hates Otello for marrying Desdemona, an Italian noblewoman whom he wanted to marry. Enflamed with jealousy, Iago plots to destroy Otello by turning him against his trusted friends and his beloved Desdemona, using whatever it takes to ensure that Otello is ruined.As mentioned before, Verdi was about to retire after composing Aida in 1871, and it took his Milan publisher ten years to persuade him to write anything. The composition process was long and took several years, but it proved to be a resounding success. Today, the opera is performed quite frequently as a staple of the worldwide operatic repertoire.The opera had been adapted to film numerous times, the most famous being Franco Zeffirelli's 1986 film.Verdi's opera provides examples of: | |
