Verdi's late masterpiece is presented in Elijah Moshinsky's production for the Metropolitan Opera, New York, with sumptuous sets and period costumes. Semyon Bychkov conducts an all-star cast led by South African Heldentenor Johan Botha in the title role with a voice of 'impressive size and bronze colour' (New York Times). Renée Fleming's Desdemona enshrines one of her signature roles in a definitive performance: 'she knows exactly how to spin the gentle lines of the Willow Song and Ave Maria so that they softly fill the hall (New York Times). A strong supporting cast includes the superb Falk Struckmann as Iago and star tenor Michael Fabiano as Cassio.
