Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
ad alta voce a tuttiMesseri! Il Doge…a parte a Desdemona(ben tu fingi il pianto)ad alta voce a tutti…mi richiama a Venezia…RODERIGO
(Infida sorte!)
OTELLO
…e in Cipro elegge
mio successor colui che stava accanto
al mio vessillo, Cassio.
JAGO
fieramente e sorpreso
(Inferno e morte!)
OTELLO
continuando e mostrando la pergamena
La parola Ducale è nostra legge.
CASSIO
inchinandosi ad Otello
Obbedirò.
OTELLO
rapidamente a Jago ed accennando a Cassio
(Vedi?… non par che esulti l'infame?)
JAGO
risponde a Otello
(No)
OTELLO
ancora ad alta voce a tutti
La ciurma e la coorte…
sottovoce a Desdemona
(Continua i tuoi singulti…)
a tutti
…e le navi e il castello
lascio in poter del nuovo Duce.
LODOVICO
additando Desdemona che s'avvicina supplichevole
Otello, per pietà la conforta o il cor le infrangi.
OTELLO
a Lodovico e Desdemona
Noi salperem domani.
afferra Desdemona furiosamente
a Desdemona
A terra!…e piangi!
English Libretto or Translation:
(aloud, to the company:)My lords!... The Duke...(aside to Desdemona, who is weeping:)– oh well-painted passion –(to the company:)... has recalled me to Venice.RODERIGO (aside)
Unjust fate!
OTHELLO
And as my successor in Cyprus elects
he who stood by my standard –
Cassio.
IAGO (surprised, in a fierce aside)
Death and the devil take it!
OTHELLO
(continuing his speech and showing the document)
The ducal command is our law.
CASSIO (bowing to Othello)
I will obey.
OTHELLO
(rapidly to Iago, nodding towards Cassio)
You see?...The villain does not seem well pleased.
IAGO
No.
OTHELLO (to the company)
The ship’s crew and garrison...
(aside, to Desdemona)
– Proceed you in your tears –
(aloud)
... the ships and castle,
I leave in charge of my successor.
LODOVICO
(pointing to Desdemona who approaches Othello supplicatingly)
Othello, prithee comfort her,
or you will break her heart.
OTHELLO (to Lodovico and Desdemona)We shall embark tomorrow.(He seizes Desdemona in fury. She falls.)(to Desdemona)Down!... And weep!
