A powerful and emotional work, Macbeth is the opera Giuseppe Verdi declared to be “unlike any other!” No love story here … just a darkly riveting scramble to grab power at any cost. Dominating the drama, Michael Mayes as Macbeth and Sara Gartland as Lady Macbeth bring their passionate and dramatic voices to this tightly paced work of magnificent music. This is the second of our series of operas based on the works of Shakespeare.
