"From the opening tempest scene to the spine tingling finish, Verdi's
transformation of the original Shakespeare play crackles with
theatrical electricity and incandescent intensity. When the evil Iago
cleverly exploits Otello's obsessive jealousy, the Moor's innocent wife
Desdemona is blindsided in the explosive dramatic friction. This

throb with Vesuvian rage and hear the blood boiling in his veins as he
destroys all in life that he holds dear. "
