Metropolitan Opera production of Verdi’s Macbeth

Overview

Director Louisa Proske made her debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York with a new production of Giuseppe Verdi’s ‘Macbeth’. Proske, who co-founded Heartbeat Opera, took over the assignment on short notice after the original director withdrew, describing the rapid preparation as an ‘impossible challenge.’

The production features Quinn Kelsey in the title role and Lise Davidsen as Lady Macbeth. The staging, designed by Jon Bausor, emphasizes supernatural themes by portraying witches as ‘malicious puppet masters’ and utilizes a rotating set with a jagged aperture resembling a gaping eye. The production also incorporates elements from the 1865 Paris version, including partially restored ballet music.
