After recording Andrea Chenier in 1955 and Il Trovatore in 1957 for RAI the Italian national broadcaster Del Monaco recorded Otello for Rai on 30 September 1958. Conducted by the magisterial Tullio Serafin the performance also profited from direction by Franco Enriquez who made the most of the limited resources available in those pioneering days of Italian television: using the rather modest studio scenery he created an expressionist ambience of contrasting light and shadows a dark and gloomy atmosphere that evoked the impending tragedy.
