What it’s about. José Cura sings and acts here with an inwardness and intensity which make a profound impression. So does Krassimira Stoyanova as Desdemona, not in the first flush of youth, but heartfelt and direct; while Lado Ataneli's Jago is a brilliantly understated study in jovial malevolence. With strong conducting from Antoni Ros-Marbà, the whole cast collaborate to give us the truth of this desperately upsetting work, as no other DVD and few live performances I've seen of it ever have.
Who’s in it. Otello stars José Cura as Otello, Lado Ataneli as Jago, Vittorio Grigolo as Cassio and Vicenç Esteve as Roderigo, among others.
