OTHELLO November 2 - 3, 2007 in Edmonton

The Moor is a man whose strength of will is only matched by his strength of spirit. Building a life out of conquests and skill, he earns the respect of those who had looked down on him, surpassing the prejudices of race.

It is only when the treacherous Iago insidiously whisper deceit in his ear that Othello begins to doubt everything upon which he has built his happiness and calls into question the loyalty of the very people who hold him most dear.

Based on the classic Shakespearean tragedy, Alberta Ballet’s world premiere of Kirk Peterson’s high-theatrical and athletic Othello will be brought to life with music of internationally acclaimed film composer Jerry Goldsmith performed by Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra & Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. Othello launches our exciting new Shakespeare cycle.

“I kissed thee ere I killed thee: no way but this; Killing myself, to die upon a kiss.”


Othello, Othello, William Shakespeare

Choreographed by Kirk Peterson

Music by Jerry Goldsmith
