A superb new OteIIo from the SaIzburg Easter FestivaI: Cura is a commanding OteIIo with his richIy coloured tenor and both fragiIe deIicacy and fiery ardour (Südwestpresse). Röschmann as Desdemona guarantees effortIess perfection (Neue Musikzeitung). Álvarez as lago would be hard to surpass (Abendzeitung). This Salzburg production featuring a cast worthy of any festivaI (Südwestpresse) is conducted by Christian Thielemann, who dispIays a command of Verdian tragedy to match his celebrated sovereignty in Wagner. He and his great Dresden StaatskapeIle, a consummate opera ensembIe, achieve wonders (Die Presse), generating ltaIian Musikdrama with their incandescence and precise nuances (Abendzeitung). In his fascinating staging, director Vincent Broussard integrates video with set and Iighting design to create an idealized visuaI context for what he calls Otellos conflict of ancient and modern, of 2D and 3D. |
