[ditogam]

Hi, this is remastered version, I think not very good, if you are interesting there is black&white version of this, search : 'Othello Chabukiani Killing Desdemona'

or see video watch?v=yIQcKq53o3U

I hope you know who was Chabukiani and here he is 50, but this is the only full performance with him that preserved. If you are interesting his prime (he is 31) search for 'Taras Bulba' or 'Bayadere', hope you'll enjoy
