‘Otello’ in Tel Aviv
On January 31 and February 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 13, Dan Ettinger returns to the Israeli Opera, where he is Music Director, for Verdi’s Otello. This co-production with the Wiener Staatsoper, originally conceived by Adrian Noble and revived by Niv Hoffmann, offers audiences a minimalist adaptation of Shakespeare’s play, focusing on the inner world of Otello and his emotional turmoil.
Ettinger leads a spectacular double cast, including Kristian Benedikt and Roy Cornelius Smith as Otello, Ionut Pascu and Mikolaj Zalasinski as Iago, and Julia Maria Dan and Alla Vasilevitsky as Desdemona.
