  3. Otello


This Opera stands out from all the heritage of Verdi. The composer managed to lay into it and the drama and vocal delights. He used the vocals and music to express dramatic situations, and making stuff as compact as possible. Emotions arise here and now, the situation is being deployed rapidly, requiring performers to stage an instant reaction.

We considered a few options of Verdi, but settled on Othello-dramaturgi?eski perfectly constructed Opera compared to what the composer was established early. Verdi very detailed worked on the libretto by deleting all secondary for his concept of the line, leaving only concentrated relationships of several characters. Othello is not like what the composer wrote before, this is no longer the same Verdi, whom we know from "La Traviata" and "Aida." I always say that the soloists, music in this Opera is born not in the Orchestra, and comes from the thoughts, emotions, the incipient momentum inside the character.

My goal as a filmmaker is to convey the inner tension that occurs between the heroes of this opera. Truth is, no matter what I did catch myself constantly that a thought can not find the equivalent expression in a stage – want to escalate it, add something else. But then comes the understanding that all the magic of this opera – in all simplicity, and most importantly reflected in attitudes, is born of misunderstanding, or – and this raises the voltage.

Today, the "Othello" cannot just be a beautiful picture – it must be meaningful, and not simple, and the sacred. In another way, because the audience, sitting in a Hall, all they see, hear and feel the skin. Fortunately, at the Opera House is still perhaps the most direct impact on the audience!
