| Belk Theater, 130 N. Tryon St, Charlotte NC 28202, United States Thursday 6-May-10 19:30 Opera Carolina Based on Shakespeare’s Othello. The dramatic tragedy of one man’s path to self-destruction is magnificently set to music in Verdi’s masterpiece. As a tempestuous storm batters the island of Cyprus, Otello’s ship battles its way into port. Otello proclaims victory over the Turks and the storm, and yearns for his reunion with his beautiful bride, Desdemona. Yet, his triumph is short-lived as he becomes riddled with self-doubt and jealousy. Escalated by innuendos and compromising situations fabricated by the villainous Iago, who is driven by his hatred of Otello, the tragedy crescendos in a heartbreaking conclusion where even love is not strong enough to prevail. | ||

Opéra de Paris Orchestre de l'Opéra National de Paris Choeurs de l'Opéra National de Paris Choeur d'enfants de l'Opéra National de Paris Marco Armiliato, Conductor Andrei Serban, Director Aleksandrs Antonenko, Tenor: Otello Lucio Gallo, Baritone: Iago Michel Fabiano, Tenor: Cassio Francisco Almanza, Tenor: Rodrigo Carlo Cigni, Bass: Lodovico Roberto Tagliavini, Bass: Montano Renée Fleming, Soprano: Desdemona Nona Javakhidze, Mezzo-soprano: Emilia |

| Opéra Bastille, 120 rue de Lyon, 75012 Paris, France Tuesday 14-Jun-11 19:30 Opéra de Paris The first thing we hear in Verdi's Otello, even before human voices, is the storm. And it is indeed an irresistible, destructive force that rages through the four acts of the opera, from the hero's triumphant arrival and his moonlight duet with Desdemona to their pitiful end, dead for nothing. As Dostoyevski says, "Othello kills not out of jealousy but because his ideal has been killed". The golden dream of the first act has become a mirage, a lie. In heaven's name, he has to destroy what has assumed its sacred form only to deceive. Once the angel has fled, once Othello is bound to the cross, all that remains for him is a terrifying descent into hell. And it is only in the depths of the abyss that justice can be done. For his last tragedy, forty years after Macbeth, Verdi once again returns to Shakespeare, his shadow companion, this time aided by the genius of Arrigo Boito. Together they made their Otello a timeless drama of moonlit lyricism and savage violence. Alongside Aleksandrs Antonenko, Renée Fleming returns to Paris Opera in the role of Desdemona.
