Verdi: Macbeth DVD (The Royal Opera)Verdi's Macbeth production on DVD for the Royal Opera House by Phyllida Lloyd is covered in red, black, cream and gold. The powerful setting of Shakespeare's Scottish play is supported by intricate cast of Simon Keenlyside as a vigorous but complicated Macbeth and Liudmyla Monastyrska as his Lady. Antonio Pappano exquisitely conducts this dual performance of domination and nuance. See our full collection of opera DVDs and Blu rays Composer: Giuseppe
