Verdi’s Macbeth was the first of several operas the composer based on the works of Shakespeare. Written during the Risorgimento, Italy’s independence movement, the opera reflected Verdi’s preoccupation with themes of freedom and tyranny. It also broke new ground in musical terms.The warrior Macbeth fights on the side of the King of Scotland – but when a coven of witches prophesy that he shall become king himself, a ruthless ambition drives Macbeth and his wife to horrific acts. Experience Verdi at his most theatrical in this opera that positively bristles with demonic energy.
