Italia noir Ottorino Respighi, Luigi Nono, Giuseppe Verdi
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
Italia noir: the orchestra of the Deutsche Oper presents a sultry evening of Italian music. In the acoustic equivalent of cinemascope, Ottorino Respighi transports the orchestra to the bloodthristy arena of ancient Rome, Luigi Nono counters the horrors of the present with life and love. And Giuseppe Verdi’s “Otello” is one of the most tragic of operas – here we hear the finale.
