Macbeth

Royal Opera House, London, WC2E 9DD

  • 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’. Alonside 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.
    Phyllida Lloyd’s 2002 production for The Royal Opera is richly hued, shot through with black, red and gold. The witches – imagined by designer Anthony Ward as strange, scarlet-turbaned creatures – are ever-present agents of fate. Lloyd depicts the Macbeths’ childlessness as the dark sadness lurking behind their terrible deeds.
    The Royal Opera’s production uses Verdi’s 1865 Paris revision of the opera, which includes Lady Macbeth’s riveting aria ‘La luce langue’.
