INCREDIBLE OVATION and APPLAUSE!!!
In April 2016, after pairing his Magnificat with Bach’s works - spanning the Baroque to the modern era - for two nights of spectacular music-making in České Budějovice, JOSÉ CURA conducted Otello in concert (he also designed the staging and directed) in a 5,500 seat Audi Arena Gyor in Gyor.

Short excerpt Otello rehearsal with the choir, 14 04 2016
One of the most beautiful experiences for me is to be able to inspire a group of people so that they don't only do what is written in the score by means of notes and text, but they also become characters, real people dealing with a certain "very possible" situation (like in this excerpt, for example), where the choir is impersonating a bunch of soldiers, sailors with their wives, or their lovers, all getting drunk to celebrate the victory over the Turkish army. Iago's chance of mocking Cassio, is on top of it, but the crowd has to have their own fun... (more excerpts will be coming soon as an appetizer for the full making-of).
