MacBeth: by Verdi




MacBeth is a wee bit bloody. I am sure you all know that but it really must be said. This production stands out in my mind as being one of the most haunting ones I have seen. I recall being somewhat creeped out by the images on stage and frankly that is somewhat difficult to do.

Pros: Lady MacBeth is AMAZING. She has a dream sequence where she feels the walls are dripping blood and somehow the tech team managed to make this image in her head become reality. It was so phenomenal. I give them absolute mad props for it!

Cons: None. I loved this production. It was well done, excellently staged and the music and vocal talent was brilliant. The only thing I am sad about is not finding a picture to show how cool the walls bleeding were.

Must See Rating: ****
