Otello (Othello)

4.09 (47 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Giuseppe Verdi

Winton Dean relates how Otello came into being as much because of the persistence of Verdis publisher as of the composers lifelong passion for Shakespeare, and the collaboration of the brilliant poet Arrigo Boito. Benedict Sarnaker argues that this magnificent large-scale opera rivals Shakespeare in intensity and profundity. William Weavers lively review of Shakespeare on the Italian stage in the last century enables us to make a wholly fresh appraisal of Verdis stature as a dramatist. The libretto itself is a masterpiece, and Andrew Porter has also translated the third-act revision which Verdi came to prefer and which has not been performed outside France before the 1981 ENO production. Contents: Otello: The Background, Winton Dean; Otello: Drama and Music Benedict Sarnaker; Verdi, Shakespeare and the Italian Audience, William Weaver; Otello: Libretto by Arrigo Boito; Otello: English Translation by Andrew Porter See more
