Shakespeare's Othello is one of his finest and most famous tragedies. This highly acclaimed performance, which ran between November 2007 and February 2008 at the Donmar Warehouse in London, features Chiwetel Ejiofor as the Moor Othello, Ewan McGregor as the scheming Iago, and Kelly Reilly as the gentle Desdemona. This recording features music written specifically for the stage production which enjoyed huge success - each performance was a sell-out.

Othello follows the story of the Moor through love, jealousy and deceit. Iago is furious about being overlooked for promotion and plots to take revenge against his general; Othello, the Moor of Venice. Iago manipulates Othello into believing his wife, Desdemona, is unfaithful, stirring Othello's jealousy. Othello allows jealousy to consume him, murders Desdemona and then kills himself.

This widely studied play is one of the "best sellers" of the Shakespeare canon. This production is the sixth Shakespeare play in the series undertaken by Naxos AudioBooks in conjunction with Cambridge University Press.

La historia original del moro de Venecia, de Gianbattista Giraldi Cinthio (1565), sirvió a William Shakespeare para crear Otelo, la única de sus "grandes tragedias" basada en una obra de ficción. Contraviniendo la imagen isabelina del "moro", Shakespeare invierte los papeles de los protagonistas y otorga al moro Otelo el carácter de hombre noble y aristocrático, mientras que reserva para el italiano Yago la perversidad y la hipocresía, desarrollando en él uno de los estudios más profundos del mal.
