Very faithful to the Shakespearean tragedy, Giuseppe Verdi's opera does not seek to dodge all the darkness that the thirst for power can engender. Because on a deserted moor three witches predicted to Macbeth that he would be king, he will not fear to assassinate his sovereign and friend, goaded by his wife ready to do anything to satisfy his ambition. They will believe they have come to an end when Macbeth rises to the throne but it's the beginning of a fall inexorable towards an abyss of blood. Murder will call the murder. The feeling of guilt experienced by Lady Macbeth fallen prey to terrible hallucinations and the murderous paranoia of her husband does not will not avoid being themselves punished to the height of their crimes. Daniel Benoin chose to transpose the action in an industrial town in Scotland in the aftermath of the First World War.

what they say |
I see a dark street flanked workers' houses all alike. A street as it was in the poor districts of Glasgow in the early 1920s when after the Great War the industrial city in full recession began a long period of decline. At the end of this street, a big metal door behind which burns the immense fire of a foundry. In the street workers from the forges, the mutilated, the beings suffering in their flesh. And many women. Because they are the ones who, while the men were at the front took their places in the factories, held the businesses, became heads of families: they are the ones who have taken power. For if Macbeth is the archetype of the drama showing the violence in politics, it is also a play on the overthrow values, on the other side of the world. A underground world which is also that of the underworld, gangs, assassins, trafficking, gypsies and that I want to show. My witches will be three powerful girls from this upset world including Verdi and Shakespeare before him had the vision. Daniel Benoin
