Macbeth Trailer

LADY M arrives on stage for the first time following a critically-acclaimed run of virtual soirées in 2020 reached over 1,000 individuals spanning 5 continents. Lady M: An Online Fantasia was an early pandemic venture for Heartbeat, now blossoming into a full production. The Washington Post noted that our 2020 virtual performances "[hacked] the corporate contours of Zoom into a postmodern proscenium." Operawire wrote: "Heartbeat’s 'Lady M' Virtual Soirées will be remembered as groundbreaking." New York Magazine's discerning "Approval Matrix" dubbed LADY M “High brow and brilliant.”

Two lines of Shakespeare reveal the grief buried in Lady Macbeth’s past. Isolated from both the male world of power and the female sphere of motherhood, she spirals toward violence. Heartbeat weaves fragments of Shakespeare’s text and a new electronics-infused orchestration into a distinctly American adaptation of Verdi’s Macbeth that centers Lady M and recasts Verdi’s chorus of witches as a trio of virtuosic soloists. Oblivious to the witches who toil constantly at the borders of her privileged life, Lady M chases the ascent that will destroy her marriage, her sleep, and her sanity.

Longtime Heartbeat artist Emma Jaster takes the reins to direct her bold vision of Ethan Heard and Jacob Ashworth’s original adaptation, featuring a tight ensemble cast of six singers and six players. Daniel Schlosberg’s arrangement explodes the haunting world of Verdi’s score with electronics, live processing, and a complete sonic reimagining of the witches’ voices.
