About
Staged: Francesco Micheli
Rarely has a production of Verdi’s “Otello” taken place in such a prestigious location, the courtyard of the Palazzo Ducale in Venice.
Directed by Francesco Micheli, this special outdoor “event production” of the Gran Teatro La Fenice supports the claim that “Venice is asserting itself more than ever on a global scale as one of the great capitals of music” (GB Opera).
