Otello (1986)
Gebaseerd op Shakespeares toneelstuk, toont Verdi's opera de verwoestende gevolgen van jaloezie: "...het groenogige monster dat spot met het vlees waar het zich mee voedt". Iago, die gelooft dat Otello de snel opkomende Cassio boven hem heeft verheven, smeedt een plan om zowel Cassio als Otello te vernietigen. Iago overtuigt de jaloerse Otello ervan dat zijn mooie vrouw Desdemona ontrouw is en dat Cassio haar minnaar is. Jaloezie wordt gevolgd door tragedie, en vervolgens door vergelding: "Heeft de hemel dan geen bliksemstralen meer?"
