| Synopsis |
Nominated for ballet’s highest honour—The Benois de la Danse in Moscow—this epic production choreographed by Kirk Peterson (who recently choreographed the critically acclaimed Swan Lake for Alberta Ballet in the spring of 2012) builds on its namesake Shakespearean tragedy of love, jealousy, deceit, revenge and murder. With lavish sets and exotic costumes inspired by the vibrant colours of Africa, Othello pairs Peterson’s highly theatrical and athletic choreography with the music of five-time Academy Award-winning composer Jerry Goldsmith to create rich layers of intent and desire for an unforgettable evening.
