Summary

Kevin McKenzie discusses the evolution of this ballet and the decision to collaborate with the San Francisco Ballet. Lar Lubovitch discusses the process of creating a concise story line for the ballet; his choice of Elliot Goldenthal to compose the musical score; the set designed by George Tsypin; the costumes designed by Ann Hould-Ward; and the first Othello story, The revenge of the Moor, written by Giraldo Cinthio.
