Macbeth (Verdi)
May. 1st, 2018 08:56 pmHampson, Marrocu / Poutney (3+/5, not due to Poutney)
Opera in English (Keenlyside, Moore) (3+/5)
Verdi's Macbeth is great because it's Verdi, although I did not go crazy for it like I did with Traviata or Don Carlo because, well, in an opera that's based on a play that's all about the slow descent into evil and deadening of one's emotions and sensibilities, there are... not as many awesome duets and trios and complicated family relationships.
( Duets, compressed action, goldface, and green goo aphrodisiac blood. )
