Otello
Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi was known for operas such as Rigoletto (1851).
In the opera Otello by Giuseppe Verdi, the revelation of Iago’s scheme occurs in the final act. After Desdemona has been killed and Emilia has confronted Otello regarding the truth, Montano arrives with soldiers and announces that the dying Roderigo has revealed Iago’s plot. This disclosure, combined with Emilia’s explanation of how she found the handkerchief and gave it to Iago, exposes Iago's manipulation to Otello.1
