Verdi's Macbeth: Theater an der Wien
О событии
Experience Verdi's vision of Shakespeare's drama, at Theater an der Wien. Bertrand de Billy leads a spectacular cast in this new production by Roland Geyer.
In his masterwork about the yearning for power, Verdi's "Macbeth" revolutionized the Italian opera during his lifetime. Verdi's hero is a baritone and not a tenor, and he moved away from the Belcanto introduced by Rossini, making dramatic expression top priority.
Sung in Italian with German surtitles.
