THE STORY
The warrior Macbeth fights on the side of the King of Scotland.  But when a coven of witches prophesy that he shall become king himself, a ruthless ambition drives Macbeth and his wife to horrific acts. Macbeth is one of the most memorable stories of how an obsession with power can destroy the people who wield it.



THE PRODUCTION
Verdi’s haunting interpretation of Shakespeare’s classical tale Macbeth is performed at Calgary Opera for the first time in the company’s 50-year history. Macbeth is filled with massive choruses as well as vivid ensemble pieces, and the score bristles with fiendish energy.

This new production, directed by Rachel Peake, will feature projections and technological enhancements to bring the supernatural elements of medieval Scotland to life.
