The performances of Verdi’s Otello, which took place at the Vienna State Opera at the end of October and beginning of November, were celebrated by the audience with standing ovations. The series, conducted by Alexander Soddy, was recorded by ORF, and the broadcast will take place on Sunday, November 19, as part of ERLEBNIS BÜHNE ON ORF III starting at 20:15. Prior to this, the three protagonists – Jonas Kaufmann (Otello), Rachel Willis-Sørensen (Desdemona), and Ludovic Tézier (Iago) – can be seen in a behind-the-scenes discussion with Barbara Rett.
