Noble Moroccan Othello finds his life with beautiful, fiercely loyal Desdemona thrown tragically out of balance when secretly jealous, scheming confidante Iago begins an insidious campaign of lies and treachery.

1991年，甲壳虫乐队中最具作曲才华的保罗·麦卡特尼推出了他的第一部古典音乐作品——《利物浦清唱剧》，该作也是为了庆贺利物浦爱乐乐团建团150周年而作，1991年6月在利物浦大教堂隆重首演，成为轰动一时的媒体事件。麦卡特尼本人未参演，但邀请了歌剧界一流明星参与，女高音特·卡娜娃、男高音杰瑞·哈德雷与男中低音威拉德·怀特。《利物浦清唱剧》记述了一位麦卡特尼虚构的主人公Shanty，在利物浦成长的经历，其中颇多作曲家自传性的元素。

The three main soloists have voices on a scale that can compete with these flashy production values – White and Kasarova, in particular, sing at a level of intensity that would swamp anything less; the climactic seduction trio has rarely been sung so well or with such an overpoweringly polymorphous eroticism. Cambreling marshals his forces effectively, giving full rein to the work's showstoppers like the "Hungarian March" but not neglecting the subtler less kinetic Gluckian side of Berlioz's vocal writing. Recorded live at the Salzburger Festspiele, 1999.
