Royal Opera House: Macbeth (2018): reparto, argumento y streaming

What it’s about. Verdi’s life-long love affair with Shakespeare’s works began with Macbeth, a play he considered to be ‘one of the greatest creations of man’. With his librettist, Francesco Maria Piave, Verdi set out to create ‘something out of the ordinary’. Their success is borne out in every bar of a score that sees Verdi at his most theatrical: it bristles with demonic energy.

Who’s in it. Royal Opera House: Macbeth stars Željko Lučić as Macbeth, Thane of Glamis, Ildebrando d'Arcangelo as Banquo, Thane of Lochaber, Anna Netrebko as Lady Macbeth and Francesca Chiejina as Lady-In-Waiting, among others.
