Othello is a sweeping, three-act dance from American Ballet Theatre that reimagines Shakespeare’s tragic tale of jealousy and betrayal through the bold choreography of Lar Lubovitch and an original score by Elliot Goldenthal. The work tells the story of the Moorish general Othello, who is manipulated by Iago, a soldier in Othello’s ranks, into believing that his beloved wife, Desdemona, has been unfaithful. Consumed by jealousy and rage, Othello spirals into madness, ultimately killing Desdemona before learning the truth of her innocence.
