About the Performance

As the Scottish nobleman Macbeth and his friend Banquo ride home from a victorious battle, they encounter three wild witches on a lonely heath.

They prophesize a great future for Macbeth: one day he will become king! The two friends ride on in disbelief. But unexpected news awaits them back home at Cawdor Castle: King Duncan has announced his visit and will also be spending the night at Cawdor Raste! Macbeth's wife, Lady Macbeth, now senses the fulfillment of the witches' prophecy: what if Macbeth were to murder the sleeping king? Then Macbeth himself would be king. And so it happens - but the terrible deed brings nightmares and remorse in its wake. Macbeth and his lady can no longer stop their game to retain power - and finally Macbeth has the whole of Scotland against him..

Duration 60 min, no intermission

Giuseppe Verdi has adapted William Shakespeare's famous drama about the tragic Scottish King Macbeth and his wife, the power-hungry Lady Macbeth, into a gripping operatic thriller. The animated short version contains the musical highlights of the original version and tells Shakespeare's dark story in an exciting and easy-to-understand way in German.

This abridged version of Verdi's early work contains many of the famous musical numbers from Macbeth: such as the Lady's epistolary aria, the ghostly apparition of the murdered Banquo and the great battle music of the all-decisive battle for Cawdor Castle.

The Vienna State Opera has a great Verdi tradition. In the 1950s, his operas were also performed in German, as is this animated short version.
