Iago (Baritone), Otello's Ensign, plots to poison his General's mind against Desdemona, fastening suspicion on Cassio, a Lieutenant (Tenor). Otello (Tenor) listens. A chorus is heard from the Garden, where Desdemona received flowers and gifts from the people. Then Desdemona (Soprano), Otello, Emelia (Mezzo-Soprano), Iago's Wife and Iago join in an ensemble in which much is made of the handkerchief incident, well known from Shakespeare's play. A long duet between Otello and Iago closes the Act, Otello swearing revenge on his innocent wife.

The action takes place in the house occupied by Sir George and Lady Gatehouse, which they have rented from Michael Severing, a rich man of whom little is known. We first hear Betty and Jack discussing affairs which are of considerable importance to themselves.
