About

In what many believe to be the finest production of Otello in modern times, Plácido Domingo and Kiri Te Kanawa lead a world-class cast under the exquisite musical direction of Sir Georg Solti. An outstanding performance of the first of Verdi's two late Shakespearian operas, universally regarded as sublime masterpieces of grand opera.

This is the second title in the Royal Opera House Collection, which presents some landmark recordings made in the closing years of the 20th century with world-class artists on a world stage. Recorded for BBC television, these collectable recordings are presented as an outstanding-value mid-price series.

Please note: These images are black and white production photos. The production is in colour.

Pure gold from the top team… Here was an evening to cherish, one to go straight into the memory in firmest indelible ink… The combination of Domingo and Solti promised gold and delivered every ounce expected.’ - The Times
