Macbeth: Deutsche Oper Berlin

Over het evenement

The Deutsche Oper Berlin presents Giuseppe Verdi's 'Macbeth', in a production by Robert Carsen.

The subtlety of human characterisation, which enables even the most harmless figure to literally walk over dead bodies without inhibition in order to seize power and cling to this power — mostly achieved by wrongful means — lays the groundwork in Macbeth for the modern psychological opera far more frequently associated with the Wagnerian music drama. Witches, ghosts, apparitions, all uncanny, scenes dominated by chanting, can in fact be understood as externally depicting the inner states of the protagonists: owing to the fundamentally romantic orientation Macbeth is far more an invitation to psychological analysis than were many of the preceding works, from Nabucco via Ernani to Attila.
