Opening the Macerata Opera Festival, Italian maestro Riccardo Frizza returns to Verdi’s dramatic Otello beginning July 22. Directed by Paco Azorin, the production features Stuart Neill in the title role, Jessica Nuccio as Desdemona, David Giusti as Cassius, and Roberto Front as Jago.
In previous years, Riccardo has led staged performances of Otello at Ópera de Bilbao and the Festival de Peralada, as well as a concert performance with the Orchestre National d’Ile de France at the Salle Pleyel. Watch clips from rehearsal with Roberto Alagna, Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Inva Mula.
