One of today’s leading dramatic tenors, Brian Jagde, takes on the tour-de-force title role of a monumental Shakespearean tragedy. Many consider it the ultimate Italian opera, broadcast live to cinemas worldwide. Verdi’s masterpiece also features soprano Ailyn Pérez in her company role debut as the long-suffering Desdemona. Baritone Artur Ruciński joins the cast as the sinister Iago. Michele Mariotti leads the full forces of the Met Orchestra and Chorus. They bring the exhilarating score to life beautifully.
Streamed live in HD, as it happens, from the Metropolitan Opera stage to the big screen at the Newport Performing Arts Center’s Alice Silverman Theatre.
