Coproduction Opéra national de Lorraine, Nancy et Opéra National de Bordeaux
Nouvelle Production Opéra en 4 actes. Livret de Francesco Maria Piave d’après l’oeuvre de William Shakespeare.
Créé à Florence, au Teatro della Pergola, le 14 mars 1847
(deuxième version créée à Paris, au Théâtre Lyrique, le 19 avril 1865).

À l’instar de nombreux artistes romantiques, Verdi subit l’irrésistible fascination de Shakespeare. Si Otello et Falstaff achèvent magistralement sa carrière, Macbeth témoigne de l’empire du génial Anglais sur un Verdi jeune composant là sa plus belle partition depuis Nabucco. La peinture
musicale du caractère abject de Lady Macbeth est assurément l’une des plus extraordinaires
du répertoire lyrique.

Like many romantic artists, Verdi fell under the irresistible fascination of Shakespeare. If Otello and Falstaff complete his career masterfully, Macbeth bears witness to the empire of the brilliant Englishman over a young Verdi composing there his most beautiful score since Nabucco . The
musical depiction of the abject character of Lady Macbeth is certainly one of the most extraordinary
in the operatic repertoire.
