Macbeth is among the best-known of William Shakespeare's plays, and is his shortest tragedy, believed to have been written some time between 1603 and 1606.
It is frequently performed at both amateur and professional levels, and has been adapted for opera, film, books, stage and screen. Often regarded as archetypal, the play tells of the dangers of the lust for power and the betrayal of friends.
For the plot Shakespeare drew loosely on historical accounts of King Macbeth of Scotland by Raphael Holinshed and the Scottish philosopher Hector Boece.There are many superstitions centered on the belief the play is somehow "cursed". Some actors will not mention the name of the play aloud, referring to it instead as "The Scottish play".

A major event, the world premiere of this new opera by Philippe Boesmans will be performed by the cream of French singers, including Mireille Delunsch and Yann Beuron. To a libretto taken from Witold Gombrowiczs play of the same name and in a staging by Luc Bondy, the character of Yvonne evolves, revealing others not as they think they are but reflecting their inner truth as if in a mirror. Boesmans musical language in this, his sixth opera, is remarkable for its rich colours and luxuriant harmony, allowing the voice to take pride of place in styles ranging from recitative to Sprechgesang.

Vivacity and variety mark this chance to see two recent works in their first revivals in a Royal Ballet programme with a contemporary slant. Martha Wainwright returns to sing in the first revival of Will Tuckett’s interpretation of Kurt Weill’s Seven Deadly Sins, new in 2007. Two demanding star roles, one each for a dancer and a singer, portray Anna’s journey through the visceral temptations of American cities, with the dramatic tensions in Tuckett’s interpretation set to music by Weill from the symphonic to 1930s popular.
In contrast, Mats Ek’s witty and subversive Carmen draws on the story of the carefree gypsy who brings turmoil to the life of her lover Don José. Suggestions of the story are set to Rodion Shchedrin’s inventive distillation of Bizet’s tune-packed opera score, while the roles of Carmen, José and the mysterious ‘M’ give fine opportunities for strong character performances from Royal Ballet soloists.
The programme finishes with the first revival of Christopher Wheeldon’s pulsing, energetic DGV: Danse à grande vitesse, an immediate hit at its premiere in 2006. Michael Nyman’s music was written to celebrate the French high-speed train the TGV, and here the large number of dancers involved make the ballet a thrilling conclusion to the programme through sheer energy and the thrill of vibrant dance.

Verdi’s Rigoletto is justly one of the best-known of all great chorus operas, and The Royal Opera’s revival brings it back with a wonderful international cast under a renowned conductor of Italian opera, Daniel Oren.
In David McVicar’s powerful and perceptive staging, the cruel and the beautiful collide in a corrupt society, at whose head is the womanizing and carefree young Duke of Mantua. Rigoletto, the deformed court jester at the Duke’s court, has to play a hard game to survive.
Ensnared in the web of court affairs, a curse placed on Rigoletto starts to exert its power when his own daughter is abducted for sexual pleasure by his master. Revenge seems to be the jester’s only solution, but through the unwitting actions of his trusting daughter fate turns a dark tale even darker by the tragic fall of the curtain.
The score is much loved for such tuneful and famous numbers as ‘La donna e mobile’ sung by the carefree Duke, the beautiful and virtuosic ‘Caro nome’ from the innocent Gilda, and a wonderful quartet that winds the voices together just as the strands of the plot pointedly entangle.
Throughout, Verdi’s vision brings out the full range of the characters’ emotions, from elation to despair. No wonder, then, that Rigoletto’s combination of music and engrossing action continues to thrill each time it returns to the Covent Garden stage. This production contains nudity.
Running time: 3 hours 15 minutes | 2 Intervals
