Dance in America:
Lar Lubovitch's 'Othello' from the San Francisco Ballet

Modern Master Lar Lubovitch Sets Othello
on PBS' "Dance in America"

Yuan Yuan Tan in Lubovitch's Othello (photo by Lloyd Englert)

“I don’t believe I could make a work out of Hamlet,” laughs modern dance master Lar Lubovitch. “But Othello – well, everyone understands jealousy.”  Indeed, Shakespeare’s  “green-eyed monster” is the linchpin of Lubovitch’s opulent new take on the Moor, recorded on stage at San Francisco Ballet and premiering as a Dance in America presentation Wednesday, June 18 at 9:00 p.m. on KQED Public Television 9. Desmond Richardson, one of America’s most dynamic dance talents, stars in the title role, with Yuan Yuan Tan as Desdemona and Parrish Maynard as Iago. Emil de Cou leads the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra.

Sparking Lubovitch’s bold concept is the original new score by Broadway, the concert stage and Hollywood’s Elliot Goldenthal (The Green Bird, the Vietnam Oratorio, Fire Water Paper, the Golden Globe-winning and Oscar-nominated Frida).

The plot, of course, centers around the noble Moor, a victorious general in the service of Venice, and his young bride, Desdemona. All would be fine were it not for the evil Iago, Othello’s ensign, who plots the Moor’s downfall.  Knowing Othello to be a jealous man, Iago suggests that Desdemona secretly loves Cassio, a young lieutenant. To prove the claim to his passionate general, he connives to retrieve a handkerchief Othello had given Desdemona as a token of their love. Through a ruse, he convinces Othello that Desdemona had given the  handkerchief to Cassio. In a jealous rage, Othello strangles Desdemona before realizing he has been duped by his ensign.

“Othello signals a major new chapter in American ballet as well as a spectacular addition to the international repertory,” wrote the San Francisco Chronicle at the time of the work’s premiere at the Metropolitan Opera House in 1997. A joint production of American Ballet Theatre, San Francisco Ballet and the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company, Othello premiered in San Francisco in 1998, then returned there in 2002, where it was recorded on stage for telecast at the War Memorial Opera House.

Othello from San Francisco Ballet is a co-production of KQED Public Television San Francisco, Thirteen/WNET New York and San Francisco Ballet, America’s oldest dance company. Past co-productions of the triad include San Francisco Ballet’s The Tempest, A Song for Dead Warriors and Cinderella, hosted by Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog.

A home video and DVD of the performance went on sale June 10, distributed by Kultur and available wherever videos and DVDs are sold including retail stores such as Tower Records as well as directly from Kultur at www.kultur.com or by calling toll free 1-800-718-1300.
