Othello.

From 24 Oct 2006 to 15 Jun 2006

25 Oct 2006-16 Jun 2007. First performed at La Scala in Milan in 1887, Giuseppe Verdis opera in four acts based on Shakespeares tragedy Othello comes to the Vienna State Opera in a new production directed by Christine Mielitz and conducted by Daniele Gatti.
