The co-production by Theater Waidspeicher and Theater Erfurt is dedicated to Giuseppe Verdi‘s musical portrait of the social climber and power-hungry Macbeth and combines the material with texts from Shakespeare‘s dramatic original. Macbeth becomes intoxicated with power and brutality and rises from soldier to King of Scotland. But from the very beginning he is surrounded by visions and fictions, witches and the dead speak to him and his end is as ghostly as his rise.
