Verdi's great Shakespeare-inspired opera Otello live from the Barbican Hall in the City of London. Colin Davis conducts the London Symphony Orchestra in this concert performance with an international cast led by Argentinian star tenor Jose Cura in the title role.
"The opera shows the last 24 hours of a human being who is going to pieces," says Cura - as Otello's love for his wife Desdemona is destroyed by the malevolent, scheming lago. Presented by James Naughtie.

Oskar Kokoschka saw himself as a visionary and witness to the truth of experience: the Archduke Ferdinand saw him as a fraud and declared that he would like to break every bone in his body. Paul Allen explores a life story that is as passionate as the work, from Kokschka's youth, when he wrote drama that was set to music by leading composers including Hindemith, to a turbulent affair with Alma Mahler , and he discusses Kokoschka's achievement with Susanne Keegan , whose new biography sees the artist as one of the century's most original and influential painters. Plus first-night news from Julius Caesar at the Globe theatre in London.
