description
World premiére of the original 1865 French version for Paris, sung in French.

Melodramma in four parts

Libretto by Francesco Maria Piave from Shakespeare

French translation by Charles-Louis-Étienne Nuitter and Alexandre Beaumont

Verdi considered Shakespeare’s Macbeth to be ‘one of the greatest creations of man’. The opera’s unbroken dramatic line, incisive libretto and range of expression from the comic to the sublime, made it a work that was way ahead of its time. Verdi explores unusual theatrical characters with Macbeth, the darkness of which resonated with his desire to convey Shakespeare’s brutal realism in a visionary masterpiece that would only be fully appreciated by the mid-1900s. Macbeth is performed here in its rarely heard 1865 French language version.
