# Otello opens at La Scala on 5 February 1887 as a completed late tragic opera with Boito Date: 1887 ## The fact La Scala and Britannica print 5 February 1887 as Otello’s premiere, Boito’s libretto after Shakespeare. Shared work with Boito, Faccio, and the house remains named. It is one event. ## Context This is a knowledge-and-theatre path of a late style. It is not Falstaff. Racial plot-harm readings of the [Shakespeare](/people/william-shakespeare) source are not invented as a unique [Verdi](/people/giuseppe-verdi) statute. Giuseppe Verdi’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death. Lived 1813–1901. Impresarios, librettists, censors, khedival officers, and Ricordi share the public file. Va pensiero’s later nationalist reception is not stored as his revolutionary act. Complex contribution is required. Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file. ## Evidence and sources Teatro alla Scala and Britannica independently describe the 1887 Otello premiere. Official or archival record: Teatro alla Scala — house heritage of Verdi premieres (https://www.teatroallascala.org/en/; Teatro alla Scala). ## Significance A completed late tragic opera is a cultural-access path. It is not a 1604 London play as Verdi’s act. ## What is established and what is not Established: 5 February 1887 premiere. Not established: unique later-directing coefficients. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Giuseppe Verdi. They are not a public rating. Giuseppe Verdi did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Keep 1887 distinct from 1893. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Giuseppe Verdi.
