Otello Verdi

Oper in vier Akten von Giuseppe VerdiDichtung von Arrigo Boito nach William ShakespeareAufführung in italienischer Sprache mit deutschen ÜbertitelnGleich dre...

Gleich dreimal läutet es Sturm: Erst droht Otellos Schiff im Meer zu versinken. Wenig später verletzt ein betrunkener Offizier einen anderen. Die Bestie Mensch bricht als Naturgewalt hervor. Während der Flottenkomman­dant Otello hier noch den Aufruhr niederzwingt, bringt ihn kurz darauf die Intrige des Zynikers Jago zu Fall. In einem Sturm der Eifersucht ersticht er seine eigene Frau Desdemona.

Shakespeares Dramen haben den Komponisten Giuseppe Verdi zeitlebens fasziniert. Hier fand er den Kern seines eigenen Musiktheaters: echte Menschen von tragischer Dimension. In seinem OTELLO gestaltete er zusammen mit dem Librettisten Arrigo Boito das Seelendrama eines Mannes, der an seinem eigenen Selbstbild zugrunde geht.

Regisseurin Jasmina Hadžiahmetović nimmt diesen Grundkonflikt zum Ausgangspunkt für eine Befragung der menschlichen Natur in Krieg und Frieden. Der Außenseiter Otello, der seinen Platz in der Gesellschaft einzig aufgrund seiner militärischen Erfolge behaupten kann, wird bis in die Hochzeitsnacht von seinen Kriegs­traumata verfolgt: „Um seiner Leiden willen“ habe Desdemona ihn geliebt. In dem brutalen Mord am Ende veräußern sich die unterdrückten Erinnerungen des Soldaten ebenso wie die Diskriminierungserfahrungen des Menschen mit dunkler Hautfarbe, zu dem ihn der hassverzerrte Blick eines Jago macht.

Deutsch

The storm rings three times: First, Otello's ship threatens to sink in the sea. A little later, a drunk officer injures another. The human beast breaks out as a force of nature. While the fleet commander Otello is still quelling the riot here, the intrigue of the cynic Jago brings him down shortly afterwards. In a storm of jealousy, he stabs his own wife Desdemona.

Shakespeare's dramas fascinated the composer Giuseppe Verdi throughout his life. Here he found the core of his own music theater: real people of tragic proportions. In his OTELLO, together with the librettist Arrigo Boito, he created the psychological drama of a man who perishes because of his own self-image.

Director Jasmina Hadžiahmetović takes this basic conflict as the starting point for a questioning of human nature in war and peace. The outsider Otello, who can only maintain his place in society because of his military successes, is haunted by his war trauma until their wedding night: Desdemona loved him “for the sake of his suffering”. In the brutal murder at the end, the soldier's suppressed memories are expressed, as are the experiences of discrimination of the dark-skinned person, whom the hate-contorted look of Jago makes him look like.
