Hrólfur Sæmundsson gives a scenically intense Macbeth with a wonderfully robust baritone. Christian Tschelebiew , with his wonderfully dark bass, is an equal partner as a general. Susanne Elmark is a highly dramatic Lady Macbeth, who always tends to be slightly acrimonious. But this is quite appropriate for the role of Lady Macbeth. Diego Silva is struggling as Macduff that evening: the voice doesn't carry, has hardly any body and tends towards unpleasantly strong vibrato. Robert Maszl reliably plays Malcolm. Eyrún Unnarsdóttir as Lady Macbeth's dame and Flurin Caduff as doctor/servant/murderer/herald complete the ensemble.
