Macbeth is drawn towards power after encountering the witches’ prophecies and his ambition is fuelled dangerously by his wife, Lady Macbeth. As he pursues the throne, guilt, suspicion, and fear begin to consume both him and those around him. Can Macbeth escape the consequences of his choices, or will his ambition lead him down a path of return?
Macbeth is one of William Shakespeare's most demonic works. To capture the supernatural atmosphere of the play, the ardent Shakespeare admirer Giuseppe Verdi composed closely to the text and boldly experimented with new timbres. Generally recognised as one of the most rounded operas of the early part of Verdi’s career, this opera was his first successful attempt to combine three elements which went on to dominate his music: the theatre, patriotism and character. Recorded in summer 2026, Heidenheim Opera Festival (OH!) production tackles Verdi’s 10th opera in its ambitious series of stagings of Verdi’s early works.
