ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
“Macbeth” is an opera unraveling Shakespeare’s exquisite psychological portrayal of the characters through an elaborate musical structure. The opera has over ten set transitions and intense performances of the witches and is a feast of dimensional characters. The opera will be directed by Fabio Ceresa, whom critics and audiences highly acclaimed for offering the essence of the impressive and antique baroque opera in “Orlando Finto Pazzo” in 2016 and a clear interpretation and intuitive staging in “I Vespri Siciliani” in 2022. The conductor for this piece is Yves Abel, a maestro evaluated as ‘this generation’s most compelling conductor’ performing worldwide at Metropolitan Opera in New York, Covent Garden in London, and La Scala in Italy. He will embody Verdi’s description of heated human desire and the desperate destruction of the soul through energetic music.
