The third in BBC2's season of Verdi operas. Tonight starring with the Chorus and Orchestra of the Welsh National Opera conducted by Richard Armstrong
Libretto by Borro after SHAKESPEARE

(DAILY TELEGRAPH)
Crowning BBC2's Verdi season is Peter Stein 's visually exciting production, widely acclaimed as one of the major operatic achievements of the 1980s, given in Stein's own special television realisation in the opera's centenary year. 'Otello is a great work because it conveys the drama of Shakespeare's play in musical terms, because the psychological acumen of its musical characterisation is so penetrating, and because it conveys with such accuracy that combination of tenderness, violence and sensuality typical of the Elizabethan age.'
(CHARLES OSBORNE)
