Macbeth by Verdi, Vin 17 Ian. 2025, De la (2024/2025), Regizat de către R.B. Schlather, Dirijor Thomas Guggeis, Simone Di Felice, Opernhaus, Frankfurt am Main, Germany

In 1847 Verdi wrote, inspired by his idol William Shakespeare, a largely experimental score, which broke the shackles of hitherto time-honoured forms. Instead of tailoring the subject matter for the stage, as was usual, the composer made his music fit the play, which he tried to mirror as closely as possible. This resulted in a thrilling, sombre opera.
