Verdi's Macbeth, second act, final scene. Banquet scene. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth (now king and queen) throw a party for the members of the court. Lady Macbeth offers a toast in honor of the guests.  In the middle of the banquet, the ghost of Banquo appears to Macbeth. He raves. The courtiers, shocked by the king's behavior, want to leave. Lady Macbeth convinces them that it's just a passing thing and begs them to stay. She reprises the toast. The ghost appears again, this time really disturbing Macbeth, who faints. The courtiers start suspecting the royal couple. This is the beginning of the end.

This is West Bay Opera's third production ever of Verdi's Macbeth.The libretto follows the Shakespeare play closely. Though Verdi turned the three witches into an entire women's chorus, he still felt that the witches, as a whole are dramatically on a par with Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.  A major success upon its premiere in 1847, the opera was revised and translated into French in 1865 for Paris. Paradoxically, it is the revised version, sung in Italian, that has become more widely performed.   Verdi was particularly proud of this score, his first opportunity to explore Shakespeare's work, which he greatly admired.  After Nabucco's Abigaile, Lady Macbeth is the next big soprano role in the Verdian canon, an intrepid musical exploration of the shakespearean archetype, a woman whose all-consuming ambition ends in tragedy and madness. Macbeth is a remarkable score, and in addition to the beautiful arias, it includes outstanding ensembles and lots of exciting choral and orchestral music.
