Otello - Verdi

Herbert von Karajan directed this film of Verdi's Shakespearean masterpiece as well as conducting the Berlin Philharmonic. As the tragic Moor of Venice, arguably his greatest role, Jon Vickers commands both the notes and the moral grandeur of the part. ...And he has the aura of greatness - greatness of heart, of bearing, of musical and dramatic conception. Mirella Freni is a heartbreakingly lovely and fragile Desdemona, while the fine English baritone Peter Glossop plays the villainous Jago.
