Commissioned in 1846, 'Macbeth' offered Verdi an opportunity to make a qualitative leap in his career and its premiere was triumphantly received by audiences. The formidable final concertato stands as one of Verdi's greatest achievements. This production staged by Emma Dante at the Teatro Massimo preserves 1865 revision of the work and shows all the relentlessness of the Shakespeare's play.
