Act III
Relayed from the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden
IN the two operas with stories from Shakespeare
Otello (the Italian form of Othello) and Felstaff written at the end of his long and wonderful career, Verdi used ibretti by his fellow composer Boito. It was Boito who furnished also the libretto for Ponehielli's La Qioconda, of which one act wag broadcast from the Royal Opera on Tuesday. Otello follows the Shakespeare plot with only slight variations, and ends with the same tragedy.
