MACBETH
MACBETH is a bold presentation that teems with madness, the supernatural and deliciously unrestrained passion of this classic Shakespeare thriller.

Macbeth and Lady Macbeth burn with ruthless purpose in Verdi’s opera based on the classic play. After they take the crown, their reign of terror and corruption is engulfed by their doomed fate.

With magnificent sets and costumes from the Opera Pacific Victoria, this production offers a vivid portrayal of Verdi’s richly emotional score. Sung in Italian with English supertitles.

Conducted by our Music Director Joseph Mechavich and staged by Keturah Stickann, the cast includes: Gergory Dahl as Macbeth, Lyne Fortin as Lady Macbeth,.

This production is sponsored by Hilliard Lyons, along with Bingham, Greenbaum and Doll as the conductor sponsor.
