Countess Almaviva
Donna Elvira
Desdemona
Marschallin
Answer
Desdemona, the answer to the question, is a tragic heroine in Giuseppe Verdi's opera "Otello," based on Shakespeare's play of the same name. Unlike other aristocratic roles commonly associated with Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, such as Countess Almaviva in Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" or the title role in Donizetti's "Lucrezia Borgia," Desdemona is characterized by her gentle, compassionate nature and unwavering love for Otello, transcending her social status.
