マクベスヴェルディ

Verdi’s Macbeth
The plot may be focused on the eponymous Scottish king, but Verdi’s high-flying take on Shakespeare’s drama boasts three powerhouse arias for Lady Macbeth, making it a signature showpiece for divas at the very top of their game. Drawing equally on showstopping vocal virtuosity and deftly crafted drama, Verdi’s version of this tale of intrigue and power will keep you on the edge of your seat for all four razor-sharp acts.

Željko Lučić and Maria Guleghina are the murderous Macbeths in Adrian Noble’s gritty production of Verdi’s Shakespeare adaptation. The performance also features Dimitri Pittas as Macduff and John Relyea as Banquo.
