Music Giuseppe Verdi
In this new production of Verdi's most exciting works of opera, Twist collaborates with director Adrian Noble and set designer Dick Bird. Their previous collaboration was the spectacular Kate Bush "Before The Dawn” concert. Here, Otello is returning to Cyprus in the midst of a violent storm, having conquered the Turks in a battle at sea. We see a ship in chaos on tumultuous seas. Twist's signature magic of abstractions, shadows and other suggestions bring this threat to life.
Premiered June 20th - June 30th, 2019 at Vienna’s WIENER STAATSOPER
