Violent, intense, and terrifying.

This is grand opera at its best, with powerhouse roles and a big chorus.

Verdi takes Shakespeare to an operatic level with one of the most complex relationships ever to haunt the stage. Consumed by the promise of political power, and propelled by his ambitious wife, Macbeth gets caught in a murderous web to claim the Scottish throne. But instead of great power, blind ambition leads only to madness and destruction.

* Rated PG 13. Some material may not be suitable for children. Violent deaths, including suicide alluded.*
