초록
Verdi and Boito created an original opera, Otello, from their inspiration of Shakespeare's Othello. Verdi overcame the convention of opera focusing on beautiful melody to which Rossini and Donizetti had contributed. He performed a new strategy into the opera because Verdi was never satisfied with the opera in which singers tried to sing only their sweet arias. Rather, he tried to inject powerful theatricality into the work. Verdi, in Otello, transforms Shakespeare's original work into his own opera by using the strategy of adding and omitting. He omits Act 1 of Shakespeare's version to make his opera simple and powerful. Verdi's first scene starts from thundering crying of the islanders who worries about the safety of Otello, which makes this work more powerful. Through this kind of theatrical strategy, Verdi succeeds in simplifying his opera and creating more effective music. He stresses the evil character of Iago who manipulates other characters for destroying them without any cause. Verdi and Boito, for theatricality, dare to omit some scenes which seem to influence Iago's Satanic character, Especially, he adds his creative and beautiful arias different from Shakespeare's works in contents, which makes his opera more fruitful in music. He creates the contrast between angelic Desdemona and satanic Iago, which can be criticized as melodramatic allegory. However, the creation of this allegorical characters makes this opera more shocking and sympathetic. Conclusively, Verdi makes his music more powerful by using theatricality in his opera.
