Otello at the Verona Roman arena, back when,
The role of Otello is sung by renowned Russian tenor Vladimir Atlantov. Kiri te Kanawa sings Desdemona and the leading Italian heroic baritone, Piero Cappuccilli, portrays the malevolent, scheming Iago.
And Insights into Otello with Jonas Kaufmann (The Royal Opera)
Jonas comes in at 49:40, if you want to cut to the chase.
Trending at BadBlue.

Jonas and Bryn in La Damnation de Faust. What more could a woman want?
Well, for starters, a production that was not this weird: Hawking walks and snails mate in mawkish opera
That’s Stephen Hawking they are talking about. Let’s hope he got royalties. The actor playing him looks like an old Alan Rickman. The caged dancers wear Hanes-style undies.
Could someone explain the whole mess, please?
Jonas Kaufmann (Faust),
Bryn Terfel (Méphistophélès),
Sophie Koch (Marguerite),
Edwin Crossley-Mercer (Brander)
Conductor: Philippe Jordan
Best to close your eyes and enjoy the singing.
I hope Bryn & Jonas each got paid enough to pay off the mortgage and put the kids through college.

I have no idea what they’re saying, but they sing it so well! Thank you Judith for sending it.
UPDATE
Pink Flamingo has a wonderful Richard Tucker selection.

Too much Jonas is never enough,
Good news for Jonas fans in Peru, Chile, Brazil and Argentina: touring this August.
