Macbeth

Macbeth, hailed to become king by the three witches, lusts for power and takes fate into his own hands. His wife, Lady Macbeth, whose own ambition aids in her husband's act of murder, is overwhelmed with guilt causing her to go mad. Trying to wash their hands of blood, their quick rise and tragic fall from power become self-inflicted.

Verdi's MACBETH, closely based upon Shakespeare's "Scottish play," will be presented in the context of PROJECT: MACBETH.  Hattiloo Theatre will present Shakespeare's original play; Opera Memphis will present the operatic adaptation. Audiences are encouraged to explore both productions.
