The great roles in verdi's MASTER
piece, s"Othello,'' which is the feature
of the Henry w. Savage English Grand
Opera company this year, and which
will be the opening bill of the opera
festival on March %, include the jeal-
Gus Moor, the crafty Iago, confiding
Cassie and Roderigo, together with
Desdemona and lagos wife, Emilia.

Shakespeare's immortal tragedy, the
action of the piece holding closely to
the original lines. In the English YER

Shakespeare's blank verse being found
to lend itself rhythmatically to Verdi's
melodious score and orchestration.
