Macbeth, concert version: Teatro Real
About the Event
The legendary Plácido Domingo sings the title role in this concert version of Verdi's 'Macbeth' at Teatro Real in Madrid.
'Macbeth' represents a milestone for Verdi as composer, who was fascinated by the work of Shakespeare. The duet between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth after the perfidious murder in the first act represents a high point of dramatic bel canto composition.
Practical Information
