"Daniel Scofield, d’une incarnation dévastatrice"

The composer of Otello , Giuseppe Verdi, hesitated to name his opera Iago , after one of the main characters. The production currently playing at the Opéra National de Nancy-Lorraine quickly makes it easy to understand why, especially thanks to Daniel Scofield's devastating performance. He is the one who manipulates Otello to satisfy his thirst for power, the one who brings about Desdemona's death, and, above all, the one who confesses to the audience that he believes in noth
