Otello in Full Score (Dover Music Scores)

Successful operatic adaptations of Shakespeare are rare. This is one of the very best. Otello's rage, Iago's cunning and Desdemona's innocence and pathos are beautifully expressed in Verdi's music. You can see what gives Iago's rage its orchestral punch and how Verdi wrote the initial storm sequence to such effect with this full orchestral score. Like all Dover scores, this is a reprint of another publishing house's work, without English translations.
