About the show

In Venice at the end of the 15th century, Otello returns victorious from battle and secretly marries Desdemona, daughter of his enemy Elmiro. She was already promised to Rodrigo, son of the Doge. Iago, who also loves Desdemona and resents Otello, pretends to support Rodrigo and manipulates Otello into believing Desdemona has been unfaithful. Otello stabs Desdemona to death, then kills himself after discovering Iago’s deception and her innocence.
