概要

There are two operas that are based on Shakespeare's tragedy 'Othello'. One is Verdi's and the other is Rossini's. The Latter became almost forgotten after the former appeared and gained public favor in the late 19th century. But in the mid-19th century, Rossini's 'Othello' had acquired wide-spread popularity on the European Continent, and helped to make the name of the hero well known to the Europeans. Stendhal, both an admirer of Shakespeare and an eager opera-goer, had a complicated opinion onthis opera work composed by Rossini. His critique of it represents the differences between Rossini=Othello and Shakespeare=Othello in form and substance, and at the same time it reveals Stendhal's own image and idea as regarding 'Othello'.
