"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 nothing in this world, neither God nor the devil.
l'Est Républicain
Daniel Scofield offers a committed and solid Iago, easily mastering the vocal demands of the role (an intense and superbly controlled "Credo")
ResMusica
Daniel Scofield is entirely convincing.... he displays a marvelous legato and a truly admirable vocal prowess.
Classykeo
Daniel Scofield is compelling as a perfectly deceptive Iago who never veers into caricature. The technique, guided by undeniable artistry and sensitive musicality, is undeniably convincing.
