Magnifico!
Hubo críticas muy duras contra esta versión,.pero la puesta es bella en general. La escena de las muertes es errónea, Por la cantidad de sangre parece de Tarantino. Agresta es muy vieja para el papel, Desdémona es joven y rubia. Kaufmann ha estado mejor. Iago exagera y falla en el “Credo” que es el punto fuerte del barítono. Recuerdo como mejor versión la de Plácido Domingo, pero no creo haber perdido 3 horas.. .
Sorry Yarra you should understand that his is a version of “Otello” and details vary from version to version. The music and lyrics must remain as Verdi and Boito wrote them, the rest is negotiable.. Kaufmann was never better, his dark voice is unique and no actor can play an “Otello”, of this incredible quality, including Plácido. Watch it again, not comparing with previous versions by analyzing what you see. And those tough critics you mention knew very little of opera. Thank you for your opinions.
New voice, technique and acting for ancient Otello? Call it Jonas Kaufmann. The rest is silence.
I’m back. This time with almost NO SOUND which was very painful. Fix that, I beg you. PLASE1
There is sound for me. Turn the volume up!
The volume was 100 Do you have higher than that? Lucky you! I insist on fixing up the sound.
Try again. Better?
1:28:51 and over. Where is the rest of the opera?

Magnificent! And to top it off I never thought a tenor could be such a superb actor: Kaufmann was born to sing Otello!
Kaufmann was born to sing “Otello”,
Too bad he is German and wastes lots of time with Wagner. Viva Verdi! anytime anyway Herr Kaufmann…
Is it possible to play a machista with an inferiority complex singing like an Archangel? It is: Kaufmann does it.
I became addicted to this “Otello”. I tried Rossini’s and nothing doing, I can’t even imagine this cast playing Rossini’s!
Amy, these singers performing Rossini’s Otello?! Oh, Lord, let it never be happen. Horrible…
Kaufmann’s advise to his peers is to use their ammo well and get whole to the end of the 2nd. act.
Let’s hear the rest now.
Gregory Kunde è forse l’unico che ha interpretato entrambi gli Otello
Right! He let it all out in 3rd and 4th! He WAS Otello. Excellent Agresta in 4th. I absolutely love this production.
Otello’s last scene: Vickers vs. Kaufmann considering voice, singing, technique, acting. I vote for Kaufmann, (A+ to B-.)
Bello da morire, sopratutto JK..!
This “Otello” is so full of details that every time I watch it (& I did many) is the first.
I love them all, except Vratogna. not because he is Iago, just because he is bad.
Kaufmann was born to sing “Otello”. Ah, the legendary quality of the products “Made in Germany”!
Tenor Kaufmann was born to sing “Otello” 2017. Let’s see what’s new in “Otello” 2020.
One has never enough of “Otello” 2017 with wonderful Kaufmann playing Otello. Please Tenor, do 2017 again.
