Blackwater Valley Opera Festival's production of Verdi’s Macbeth - conducted by Killian Farrell, directed by Sarah Baxter and in artistic collaboration with the Irish Chamber Orchestra, was the headline event at Lismore Castle Waterford on 31 May, 2, 3 and 4 June 2023.

The first genuine masterpiece of Giuseppe Verdi’s career - and first of his three Shakespearean operas - Macbeth is a political thriller full of intrigues, murders, and passion. Verdi created this stunning musical portrait of opera’s most power-hungry couple with wonderful, unforgettable arias.

The BVOF 2023 production featured the legendary baritone Leonardo Galeazzi and baritone Vittorio Vitelli, alternating as Macbeth; Serenad Burcu Uyar as the fiendish Lady Macbeth, and world-renowned bass Gorán Jurich as Banco. The supporting cast included BVOF bursary winners John Porter and Rory Dunne; Emily Hogarty, Andrew Gavin and the Blackwater Valley Opera Chorus.

This spectacular arts and culture summer festival has developed its own distinctive voice within the opera world and live music circuit, bringing fresh vision and focus to Waterford tourism and Ireland’s Ancient East.
