Otello is an opera in three acts by Gioacchino Rossini to an Italian libretto by Francesco Maria Berio di Salsi, based on Shakespeare's play Othello. First performance: Teatro del Fondo, Naples, 1816. The opera deviates quite heavily from Shakespeare's original, not only in that it takes place in Venice and not on Cyprus, but also in that the whole dramatic conflict develops in a different manner. The role of Jago is reduced to some degree and is much less diabolical as in the original or in Verdi's - much later - version.
