Macbeth is Verdi’s thrilling take on the immortal Shakespearean tale of the scheming couple determined to seize power at any cost. This production stars two of opera’s most extraordinary artists: Quinn Kelsey is the Scottish king haunted by the ghosts of his murderous ascent to the throne, and Lise Davidsen—the world’s reigning dramatic soprano—portrays the power-mad Lady Macbeth, whose ruinous ambition damns them both. Rounding out the all-star cast are tenor Freddie De Tommaso as the heroic Macduff and bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green as Macbeth’s friend-turned-victim Banquo, all conducted by Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
