Baritone Mark Delavan is Iago, who declares his famous credo that he was created wicked by a cruel god. |
  When Otello, tenor Clifton Forbis, returns from battle, he declares his love for his new wife Desdemona, soprano Norah Ansellem. But shortly thereafter, thanks to Iago’s evil plan, Otello is consumed by jealousy and grabs the innocent Desdemona in a fit of rage. |
  After Desdemona, soprano Norah Ansellem, is ordered to her bedroom, she prays that her husband’s anger will subside in the famous “Ave Maria.” |
