Synopsis and more information

Durante una tormenta, el general Otello regresa victorioso a casa con su joven esposa Desdémona a la que ama con locura.  Allí se ve atrapado en una perversa conspiración urdida por el alférez Iago, que está dispuesto a hacer cualquier cosa para destruirle. Iago aprovecha su estrecha relación con Otello para hacerle creer lo que ya cree todo el mundo: que no es posible que una dama así se pueda haber enamorado de alguien como él. Iago proporciona pruebas falsas de la culpabilidad de Desdémona, avivando la ira de Otello, quien devorado por los celos repudia públicamente a su mujer y la estrangula en su cama. Cuando descubre la verdad, Otello se apuñala hasta la muerte.
