One of today’s leading dramatic tenors, Brian Jagde takes on the tour-de-force title role of what many consider the ultimate Italian opera, live to cinemas worldwide. Verdi’s monumental Shakespearean tragedy also features soprano Ailyn Pérez in her company role debut as the long-suffering Desdemona, alongside baritone Artur Ruciński as the sinister Iago. Michele Mariotti leads the full forces of the Met Orchestra and Chorus in the exhilarating score. This live cinema transmission is part of The Met: Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.

Presented in partnership with Des Moines Metro Opera. A representative from DMMO will be present 30 minutes before each screening to share information about DMMO, the upcoming 2027 Festival Season, and connect with patrons.
