Summary:
Verdi's crackling version of Shakespeare's monumental play attracts singers and conductors who are willing to take risks in pursuit of drama. With James Levine's taut conducting, the dimensions and colors of Verdi's score are revealed, galvanizing Sherrill Milnes (Macbeth) and Renata Scotto (Lady Macbeth). Milnes's strong baritone gives imposing dimensions to Macbeth, and the way Scotto combines the words with the music demonstrates why some people say Lady Macbeth is really the leading character.

Prelude
Che faceste? Dite su!
Giorno non vidi mai sì fiero e bello!
Due vaticini compiuti or sono
S' allontanarono!
Nel dì della vittoria io le incontrai
Vieni! t'affretta!
Oh donna mia!
Sappia la sposa mia
Fatal mia donna!
Di destarlo per tempo il re m'impose
Schiudi, inferno, la bocca ed inghiotti
Perchè mi sfuggi
La luce langue
Chi v'impose unirvi a noi?
Studia il passo
Come dal ciel precipita
Salve, o Re!
Si colmi il calice di vibo eletto
Voi siete demente!
Sangue a me quell'ombra chiede
Tre volte miagola la gatta in fregola
Ballo : Allegro vivacissimo
Finchè appelli, silenti m'attendete
Qual concento! Parlate!
Ondine e silfidi, dall'ali candide
Ove son io?
Patria oppressa!
O figli
Ah, la paterna mano
Dove siam? che bosco è quello?
Vegliammo invan due notti
Una macchia è qui tuttora
Perfidi! All'Anglo contro me v'unite
Pietà, rispetto, amore
Ella è morta!
Vittoria! vittoria!
