    Tagging and titling this is a nightmare. Sorry. The composer is Guiseppe Verdi. The opera is Otello, (which is based on Shakespeare's Othello). The orchestra is Orchestre et Chœurs de l’Opéra...

    The composer is Guiseppe Verdi.
    The opera is Otello, (which is based on Shakespeare's Othello).
    The orchestra is Orchestre et Chœurs de l’Opéra Bastille.
    The Conductor is Myung-Whun Chung
    The singer in the video I'm linking is Cheryl Studer.

    Here's the Deutsch Grammophon page for the recording: https://www.deutschegrammophon.com/en/catalogue/products/verdi-otello-domingo-studer-leiferkus-chung-10134

    I'm posting this because it's short and accessible and glorious. Also, it has an example of something I particularly like which is a build up of tension for the first 55 seconds, and then at 0:56 a lift. Flawless.
