Giuseppe Verdi: MACBETH

Macbeth from 1847 belongs to the early stage of Giuseppe Verdi's work and is his first opera based on the great English playwright. Both Shakespeare's work and Verdi's opera are dark dramas of power, tyranny, violence, paranoia of rulers, and one unfulfilled marriage. The transience of power and the lawlessness of autocracy lead with inexorable logic to the disintegration of society, to the madness of tyrants and to their downfall. Verdi reworked the opera for a production in Paris in 1865, and it is largely from this version that we base our production, which does not intend to be a mere museum reconstruction of the famous story. It brings the story closer to the present day, making it an intimate, personal and everyday drama, finding in it a biting humour that allows the audience to reflect much more clearly on themselves and the world around us.
