It will be an extraordinary opportunity to relive the story of the passion of the general Othello for Desdemona, enjoying the show from the courtyard of Doge’s Palace. 

The idea of ​​creating “Othello” in the courtyard of the Doge’s Palace at the foot of the Scala dei Giganti, was  by Floris Ammannati, a very creative superintendent of the Teatro La Fenice. Ammannati was interested in a spectacular production that would enhance deceive and at the same time, a “Venetian” work  and the ornamental splendor of the monument. In August of 1960 was staged for the first time the work. The success was clamorous.

Myung-Whun Chung is one of the most important orchestra conductor in the world. One of his most ambitious project has been that of uniting in a single orchestra musicians from North and South Korea: “Peace win through music. I remain convinced by the possibility of repeating this initiative again” he declared after having directed the concert which inaugurated the Osaka Festival Hall.
