Reviews ‘Verdi’s wise, passionate score was served with precision, gusto and a keen ear for drama by maestro Antoni Ros-Marbà and the solid, malleable Liceu orchestra.’ Opera News
‘José Cura has the vocal colouring, the power and strength, but above all the dramatic temperament that this colossal Verdi character demands.’ El Pais
‘…the Bulgarian soprano Krassimira Stoyanova captivated with her sensational Desdemona. Hers is a lyrical voice of great beauty, with sufficient volume used with taste and transmitted with both sweetness and firmness.’ El Pais
