Macbeth Verdi

Craig Colclough performs "Fuggi Regal Fantasima" from Verdi's MACBETH

In this harrowing excerpt from Verdi's MACBETH, the title character (performed here by bass-baritone Craig Colclough) slips further into madness when a vision of the murdered Banco (Christian Van Horn) appears with a grim prophecy

Lyric’s riveting season opener is the inaugural production of Music Director Enrique Mazzola's tenure, and a brand-new production from Sir David McVicar. Adapting one of the greatest tragedies written by his hero, Shakespeare, Verdi created a stunning portrait of the most power-hungry couple who ever trod a stage. Macbeth’s bloody ascent to the throne of Scotland — led and supported by his wife’s own consuming ambition — results in disaster for them both. Verdi brings them to blazing life in a score that bristles with energy and endless excitement. Grand-scale arias, hair-raising duets, stupendous ensembles — they’re all here, in the first genuine masterpiece of Verdi’s career.

Macbeth by Verdi, Fri 17 Sep 2021, From (2021/2021), Directed by David McVicar,, Conductor Enrique Mazzola, Lyric Opera House, Chicago, United States
