A great warrior learns that he is to be king. He murders his sovereign and ascends the throne. This crime leads to others, which unite against him. In the end, he succumbs with his arms in his hands. Four sentences, four acts: seen from the outside, they sum up a banal story of ambition. But from the inside, everything becomes haunted. Macbeth knows he will reign because he has met witches who have predicted it. But they did not prophesy that he would be a regicide... So why is he thinking about it, why is his wife leading him down the bloody path? From the shadow of temptation to the darkness of madness and damnation, Verdi's music lays bare the torments of criminal souls, captives of the terrible inner logic that men call fatality.
