Verdi’s thrilling take on the immortal Shakespearean drama centres on the doomed Scottish king, haunted by the ghosts of his murderous ascent to the throne, and his power-mad wife, whose ruinous ambition damns them both.Two of opera’s most extraordinary artists, baritone Quinn Kelsey (Tosca, Rigoletto) and Lise Davidsen (Tristan und Isolde, Fidelio, Tosca, Der Rosenkavalier, Ariadne auf Naxos) star as the scheming couple determined to seize power at any cost in a highly anticipated new production.
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-mad Lady Macbeth, whose ruinous ambition damns them both. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium for a penetrating production by Louisa Proske, a brilliant young director making waves around the world. Rounding out the all-star cast are tenor Freddie De Tommaso as the heroic Macduff and bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green as Macbeth’s friend-turned-victim Banquo.
This live cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theatres across the globe.
