DVD of the Month: Jonas Kaufman sings Otello

On a sweltering night at London’s Royal Opera House in June 2017, Jonas Kaufmann made his debut performance as Otello – one of the most coveted and challenging roles in the tenor operatic repertoire.

The Guardian commented on his performance: “Kaufmann thrills in a dark, expres-sionistic staging”. This new production by director Keith Warner presents a simultaneously modern and abstract approach to one of Verdi’s greatest operas.

The DVD also includes two short bonus features: – An introduction to the opera & a short feature about the music of the opera with the conductor and tenor.
