On the occasion of the Otello premiere at the end of October 2023, the Austrian cultural consultant Barbara Rett met top-class opera stars backstage at the Vienna State Opera. Jonas Kaufmann in the title role in Verdi’s “Otello” spoke about the diversity of Verdi’s tenor parts. The American soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen in the role of Desdemona underlines the strength of this female character and the french baritone Ludovic Tézier, as the scheming Iago, draws parallels between the villains Scarpia and Jago.
