Review: OTELLO, Royal Opera House
The Royal Opera House revives its 2017 production and triumphs with a clear-sighted telling of a tricky tragic tale *****
“Daniele Rustioni ensures that the music is a full character (as it should be in opera) driving the narrative and manipulating our emotions, revealing the disintegration of psychologies as Iago's poison seeps through the court. Verdi's score, written at 73 years of age in 1887, sounds as fresh as if it were composed by a 23 year old last week - another sign of the relevance of the work.”
