Otello = José Cura
Desdemona = Anja Harteros
Jago = Dmitri Hvorostovsky
Dan Ettinger, conductor
The Siberian tiger, that was too easy. Dmitri Hvorostovsky, baritone from Sibiria.
With the words Otello and Argentinian that was José Cura, tenor from Argentina. But why did I say mountain lion. Well, I really wanted to say lion but they do not live in Argentina, mountain lions do. Anyway Otello is called the lion of Venice and onstage José Cura was often on four legs like a powerful predator.
Anja Harteros is Anja Harteros, the German soprano.
News!! I now saw that sometimes the chorus was in black and red. The red on the black as red as blood. Other news sometimes the video showed clouds and not the raging sea, some times one could see something else and sometimes it was just black as nothing.
It really did not make much sense and it was boring. Boring color changes. The singing was glorious. Everybody deserved a much better production. BIG NEWS! José Cura was well and in good humour. The nicest tenor ever!!
