Renata Tebaldi

Desdemona in Verdi's Otello was a career role for soprano Renata Tebaldi, from her first operatic performance outside of Italy to her final appearance on the opera stage. Between those landmarks she performed the role nearly 100 times all over the world and made studio audio recordings that became reference recordings for the role. This 1962 production with the Deutsche Oper Berlin and Giuseppe Patane was planned as a media event from the outset and blessedly captures a consummate artist in a signature role at the peak of her gifts.

Renowned tenor Mario Del Monaco sings the lead in this production of Umberto Giordano's opera based on the life of French poet Andrea Chénier. With his unique vocal technique, Del Monaco brings a vibrant power to the title role, matched by complex and charismatic performances from Antonietta Stella as Chénier's beloved Maddalena and Giuseppe Taddei as the tragic Gérard in this sweeping tale set against the backdrop of the French Revolution.
