5.0 out of 5 stars Cura scores a triumph 14 Feb 2007
By Robert Petersen
Format:DVD
Another Willy Decker show..........again, I am not phased by the minimalistic production, especially after watching the short documentary that form part of the bonus features. Like the 2005 Salzburg Traviata, this Liceu Otello will have its die-hard fans and its critics. As far as I can concerned, the 3 principals are in top form, with Cura providing one of his strongest interpretations in recent years. Vocally, he has a few dry spots, however, his acting and intense portrayl make this a production to treasure. A triumph all round! However, I think that this opera could have been fitted onto a single disc, as the bonus features are not that substantial.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Production! 17 July 2011
By Ms. Elaine Taylor
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this DVD purely because I am a fan of Vittorio Grigolo and it's the only opera I have found with him in it. However, it was Josè Cura who blew me away. He performed with such intensity and vigour that I was drawn into every emotion he was feeling. A magnificent portrayal of Otello. Yes, the production is minimalistic and it does all revolve around the large cross but I preferred it to the traditional staging of other productions and I think Willy Decker did a fantastic job. Lado Ataneli was superb as Jago as was Krassimira Stoyanova as Desdemona and Vittorio as Cassio was great [especially when he removed his shirt :)] but the star of the show, deservedly so, was Cura. A "must have" to add to anybody's collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent modern production. 24 April 2013
By Mr. Mc Warwick
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I do prefer to see more staging than what is actually in this performance. Like many modern opera productions this one agagin borders on Opera/Concert version label. Why waste a perfectly good theatre when this could have been performed as it is in a concert hall. Even so the cast was excellent and the psychological input was very good, clear and actually moving. Cura was excellent although his Desdemona appeared old enough to be his mother and not his young wife.
