In a coastal city on the island of Cyprus, a jealous husband is driven to kill, manipulated by false accusations perpetuated by a back-stabbing friend.  Adapted from Shakespeare’s tragic play, Verdi’s penultimate opera chronicles the struggle between love, suspicion, and betrayal. A large scale production brings explosive drama underlined by stormy instrumental bravura to Palm Beach.
