Celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Metropolitan Operas Peabody and Emmy Award-winning series The Met: Live in HD. The broadcast of Verdis Otello will be presented live on Saturday, October 17 in select cinemas nationwide.
Verdis masterful Otello matches Shakespeares play in tragic intensity. Director Bartlett Sher probes the Moors dramatic downfall with an outstanding cast: tenor Aleksandrs Antonenko plays the doomed Otello; new soprano star Sonya Yoncheva sings Desdemona, Otellos innocent wife and victim; and baritone Željko Lu?i? plays the evil Iago, who masterminds Otellos demise. Dynamic maestro Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts.
