Reviews

Donizettian Macbeth, Wagnerian Gruach (San Francisco Classical Voice, October 13, 2006)
West Bay Opera’s Macbeth is Verdi, Verdi good (Inside Bay Area, October 17, 2006)

Manipulated by his ruthless wife, Macbeth resorts to murder in order to reach the throne. A powerful score propels Verdi’s masterful retelling of Shakespeare’s tragedy of ambition, murder, and madness, culminating in Lady Macbeth’s arresting sleepwalking scene.
