Who said that only the big names in pop and rock sell out? Opera in Sassari has the same appeal. And if last year entry into Piazza d’Italia was free for Leoncavallo’s “Pagliacci”, this year there is a ticket for Verdi’s famous “Otello”. The first day of presale opening was enough for the 1,200 seats to be sold out. Of course, standing room remains because the square will not be cordoned off, but the result is sensational.
The appointment with opera in the square is on July 12th. He will also conduct the Marialisa de Carolis Orchestra in this edition Sergio Oliva. The direction, sets and costumes of the new staging of the de Carolis will be handled by Alberto Gazale, baritone from Sassari, director and artistic director of the institution, much appreciated in the 2023 edition for the direction of “Pagliacci”.
He will play Othello Dario of Vietri, among the expected returns we find in the cast of “Otello” the Sardinian baritone Marco Caria that after the success of the last season, which saw him protagonist in Sassari of “Clowns” And “Nabucco”, will play the role of Iago. Great anticipation too Angela Nisi, acclaimed Nedda in “Pagliacci”, will now be Desdemona in “Otello”.
