This print shows a scene from the opera Otello. It comes from a 1889 production at the Lyceum Theatre. The singer Francesco Tamagno starred in the title role. Tamagno was a top Italian opera star. His Otello in 1887 in Milan was a huge hit. The show later toured Europe and America. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
