Verdi's Macbeth November 4, 2011

Music by Giuseppe Verdi │ Libretto by Francesco Maria Piave and Andrea Maffei, after William Shakespeare’s drama.

Verdi, master of passionate musical excitement and creator of many of the most vivid characters in opera, joins forces with Shakespeare, master of dramatic tension and unrivalled in plumbing the depths of psychological portraiture. The result: Macbeth – bold, terrifying, hypnotic, gripping.

Sung in Italian with projected English translation.
