“You have an ambitious soul, Macbeth. But on the road to greatness, will you commit a crime?”
— Lady Macbeth
A winning combination of drama and music. Shakespeare’s timeless play deals with an insatiable lust for power, without restraint or limits, embodied by a cruel and alienated ruler, whose wife is the “driving force” behind his actions.
