24th Annual Brackendale Winter Eagle Festival : Opera Pro Cantanti: Verdi’s Macbeth

In 1847, Verdi set to glorious music Shakespeare's famous tragedy about a regicide and its aftermath. Macbeth encompasses both the larger theme of political upheaval in medieval Scotland and the smaller but intensely psychological story of a marriage fraught with bitter power-struggles and dark desires. Witches, prophecies and bloodied ghosts abound in this sublime rendition of one of Shakespeare's most beloved dramas.

CAST: Macbeth - Richard Williams, Lady Macbeth- Avis Picton, Macduff- Jim DeLaHunt, Banquo- Bodo Ellendt, Malcolm- Lawrence Cantrell, Dama- Stevie Manchulenko, Doctor- Christopher Kovarik, piano accompanist- Yawen Wang.
