Macbeth or the wells of human ambition.Verdi felt a kind of obsessive attraction to Shakespeare. The first time he tasted his drama was in 1847, during the "Stajanovist" years of galleys. The composer broke away from the dogmas and orthodox structures of the opera of the time. He did not want these conventions to soften the tragic dimension of the original work, one of the darkest and most wrenching x-rays of ambition in the history of literature. Elena Barbalich, director of this production premiered at Sâo Carlos in Lisbon, lives up to the psychic complexity of the "Shakesperian" characters. His vision is not clear, there are no good or bad. The nuances between both poles are infinite and between them lies the fickle weakness of the human soul. Like that of Lady Macbeth, instigator of her husband's bloody ascension to the throne.
