Retropost, 2006:
is characterized as a Moslem convert, another factor of his "otherness" within his society.
In Othello’s last speech, he alludes to his own circumcision as a former Muslim as he notes his seizing of "the circumcised dog" in Aleppo and smiting him "thus." In the play, he in fact smites himself at that moment, being rescuer and evil perpetrator at one and the same time. As Florence Amit observed, even Othello’s name, when parsed into syllables and understood as Hebrew, declares literally, "his sign of God," which in a Jewish-Hebrew context refers to his circumcision, which is "the sign of God."
Of course, there is no judgmental statement by Shakespeare here about Muslims, just the words of a particular man, Othello, responding to his
unique situation marvelously in character.
One of Mozart’s most famous operatic moments came to the big screen in the 1984 film Amadeus, when the “Queen of the Night” aria rang out with striking intensity under the direction of Miloš Forman. pic.twitter.com/S7hN0NaLnM

An audio introduction to my paper on Shaw's play, and on a novel narratological concept I submit, narrative mapping:

If you can't hear the podcast, there's at least the paper (in Spanish).
Una nota sobre la comedia de Robert Greene Friar Bacon and
Friar Bungay, en la que comentamos el desarrollo de modalidades
complejas de teatralidad, de perspectivismo dramático, y de complejidad
semiótica sobre la escena, estimulados por el uso de la magia como
recurso escénico, con anterioridad a Doctor Faustus de Marlowe y The
Tempest de Shakespeare. El uso de la magia escénica por parte de
Greene estimula una mayor consciencia de la flexibilidad de las
convenciones teatrales y de las modalidades de la interacción
comunicativa humana.
