Macbeth, the Opera

About

Verdi’s brilliant adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays is the latest production in English Pocket Opera Company’s ongoing collaboration with Central St Martins.
As usual, 8 talented CSM designers will make very unusual sets and costumes, creating a production like no other – an experience which provides an ideal introduction to the excitement of live opera for young and old alike.
The opera will be sung in Andrew Porter’s English translation and features a cast of experienced professional soloists supported by a 40 strong chorus.

Last year’s reviews :
“….. inspiriting and moving. This unconventional, exhilarating Orpheus was a striking new confirmation, in many different
ways, of why opera matters.”
Andrew Porter – Opera Magazine

“Feedback from participants and teachers has been extraordinarily positive, even eulogistic. And, the statistics too are
impressive. It seems incredible that all this is achieved on a shoe-string budget; It is not just a ‘worthy’ venture but a
worthwhile and artistically rewarding one too.”
Claire Seymour – Opera Today

This is a great project which I have been involved with for 7 years now. The cream of Britain’s design talent – with typically brilliant EPOC singers and creativity – opera like you’ve never seen it before.
