Macbeth
Theater Duisburg
‘Macbeth’ was a daring undertaking in the context of French and Italian opera practice of its time, with regard to both its gruesome subject matter and its lack of the usually compulsory love story. The sick spirits of both protagonists dominate both the music and the drama, combining the two with a rare coherence.
Following his impressive interpretation of ‘Otello’, Michael Thalheimer now takes on another Verdi opera based on the great English dramatist William Shakespeare. Where does violence in people come from? Like the poison that Iago instils into the doubting Otello, the witches’ prophecies now reflect human compulsions that discharge themselves, leading to madness and death.
