Macbeth
Wed 11 June - Sat 14 June
This event has passed.
New production.
Macbeth, a successful warrior and a hero of his king, is seduced by a dark prophecy that foretells of greater things for him. Consumed by ambition, he is caught in a spiral of violence as he and his lady descend into madness and despair.
‘One of mankind’s greatest creations’ is how Verdi described Shakespeare’s play. Determined to transmute as much of the weirdness and ferocity of the original text into music as possible he aimed to create a work of ‘extravagance and originality’. He succeeded spectacularly, producing a fantastically exciting drama, of which the famous chorus Patria oppressa! is but one of many musical highlights. Conductor – Richard Farnes Director – Tim Albery Sung in Italian with English titles.
