Overview
Rarely has a production of Verdiās Otello been staged in such a prestigious location: the courtyard of the Palazzo Ducale in Venice! This special outdoor āevent productionā of the Teatro La Fenice takes place amidst genuine late-Gothic and Renaissance architecture highlighted by spectacular projections: āA set of singular fascinationā (Il Corriere Musicale). Critics were full of praise for the musical performance, designating conductor Myung-Whun Chung as the āabsolutely dominating forceā of the performance (GB Opera). The lead role is sung by Gregory Kunde, who successfully interpreted both Verdiās and Rossiniās Otello in one year, perhaps the first tenor ever to do so. He āreproduces every accent, every colour demanded by Verdi with sensibility and intelligenceā (OperaClick).
