Macbeth, broadcast screening from The Metropolitan Opera New York
Hair-raising drama and spectacular singing as two of opera’s most extraordinary artists star in Macbeth, a new production from The Metropolitan Opera New York of Verdi’s thrilling take on the immortal Shakespearean tale of the scheming couple determined to seize power at any cost.
Following past triumphs in many of Verdi’s signature baritone roles, Quinn Kelsey is the Scottish king haunted by the ghosts of his murderous ascent to the throne, opposite Lise Davidsen— the world’s reigning dramatic soprano—as the power-hungry Lady Macbeth, whose destructive ambition dooms them both. They lead a stellar cast in a penetrating production by Louisa Proske, a brilliant young director making waves around the world.
