Verdi, Shakespeare, and Game of Thrones converge in Opera North’s production of Macbeth. The warrior Macbeth fights on the side of the King of Scotland – but when a coven of witches prophesy that he shall become king himself, a ruthless ambition drives Macbeth and his wife to horrific acts. Experience Verdi at his most theatrical in this opera that positively bristles with demonic energy.
