Macbeth | Ramon Gener

Macbethdepicts the struggle between ambition and conscience in the wasteland of the soul, and is a work of Shakespeare’s later period. This was Giuseppe Verdi’s first adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s plays, but the opera already demonstrates Verdi’s interest in the innermost and darkest shadows of the soul and the blinding and confusing light of human conscience, which from this time on would always appear in his operatic works. A message of hope awaits the audience at the end of this metaphysical drama: only conscience is capable - though not always - of overcoming the evil that reduces the human soul to waste.On the stage, it has been given a powerful and challenging production by the Australian film and theatrical director Benedict Andrews. His work for the Royal Danish Opera production has focused on a precise and demanding treatment of the acting,highlighting the most violent aspects of the sinister couple created by Shakespeare: cruel killers whose overriding desire is to achieve power. The stage design is restrained and functional, with few props. It allows the great empty spaces to breathe and gives a key role to the striking lighting that underlines the dramatic and nightmare atmosphere in which the characters are immersed.

The title role is shared by two of the best known Verdian voices of today, the Italian baritone, Luca Salsi (who opened the current La Scala season with this role) and the Georgian, George Gagnidze; the admired soprano Anna Pirozzi (who sang a superb Abigaille in the two productions of Nabucco offered by Les Arts) takes on the role of the horrifying Lady Macbeth; with Marko Mimica and Giovanni Sala as Banco and Macduff. Presiding in the orchestra pit is the Italian conductor Michele Mariotti.

English

Macbeth, o la lluita de l'ambició i la consciència en els erms de l'ànima. Obra del període final de les seues conegudes galeres, Macbeth va suposar la primera incursió de Giuseppe Verdi en la dramatúrgia de Shakespeare. En aquest títol es distingeixen ja el gust per les ombres més profundes i rovellades de l'ànima i les llums més encegadores i confuses de la consciència humana que, des de llavors, sempre compareixeran en la producció dramàtica verdiana. Un missatge d'esperança espera l'espectador al final d'aquest metafísic drama: només la consciència aconsegueix, i no sempre, véncer el mal que redueix a erms els camps de l'ànima.

català

Macbeth, o la lucha de la ambición y la conciencia en los yermos del alma. Obra del periodo final de sus conocidas galeras, Macbeth supuso la primera incursión del Giuseppe Verdi en la dramaturgia de Shakespeare. En este título se distinguen ya el gusto por las sombras más profundas y mohosas del alma y las luces más cegadoras y confusas de la conciencia humana que desde tal fecha en adelante siempre comparecerán en la producción dramática verdiana. Un mensaje de esperanza aguarda al espectador al final de este metafísico drama: sólo la conciencia alcanza, y no siempre, a vencer al mal que reduce a baldíos los campos del alma.
