Act II
From Covent Garden
Cast : Iago INGHILIERI
SHAKESPEARE'S tragedy, Othello, is followed k7 very closely in Verdi's Opera. When the Opera opens, the Moor, Othello, General in the Venetian army of the fifteenth century, has already married the high-born Desdemona of Venice. He brings her with him on an expedition to Cyprus. Othello has aroused the jealousy of his confidant, Iago, by promoting the lieutenant Cassio over him. lago plans the fullest revenge.
ACT II
Iago's aim is to make Othello doubt tho faithfulness of Desdemona. The setting of this Act is a hall on the ground floor of the Castle.
First of all, Iago (Baritone) enters the hall with Cassio (Tenor), and in a brief talk advises him to ask Desdemona to plead for his reinstatement. Cassio goes out, and Iago sings his famous ‘ Creed ’—‘ I believe in a cruel God.' As he finishes, Desdemona is seen walking in the garden with Emilia (lago's wife and Dcsdemona's attendant).
OtheUo (Tenor) now enters, just in time to catch sight of Cassio taking leave of Desdemona. In a long scene, lago subtly, but thoroughly, arouses in Othello suspicion of these two.
Desdemona (Soprano) presently enters the Hall, and Othello is much stirred by his love for her ; but his suspicions are roused in earnest when she straightway begins to plead for Cassio.
Emilia (Mezzo-Soprano) has come in with Desdemona, and the dialogue between Othello and his wife becomes a quartet. Desdemona, with the humblest contrition, asks for pardon if she has ever unwillingly offended, and vows her unbroken love.
The two women go away, and Othello continues to brood.
By and by, lago tells of Cassio's talking in his dreams of Desdemona. Othello's frenzy is now complete, and he calls on ' yonder marble heaven ' to witness his oath of vengeance.
