Movie Reviews of Verdi - Otello / Domingo, Fleming, Morris, Croft, Levine, Moshinsky, Metropolitan Opera
Movie Review: othello with shattering climax
Summary: 4 Stars
As one might expect with the casting and its Metropolitan provenance, this is an excellent DVD version of Verdi's Othello. The star of the show, in my opinion, is the youthful Renee Fleming. How secure and pleasing her voice is, and she is an excellent actress to boot. James Morris is good as Iago, but the part could do with a bit more malevolence. Placido Domingo has virtually owned this role for the past 3 decades and is superb. Compared to the Solti / Covent Garden filmed performance, I found his Met portrayal less engaging to begin with, but it builds up to a shattering climax.
Good filming, an interesting and intelligent production plus above average sound quality. Othello fans should possess both the Levine and Solti versions.
