Two of opera's most extraordinary artists return to The Met: Live in HD for Verdi's thrilling take on the immortal Shakespearean tale of the scheming couple determined to seize power at any cost. Baritone Quinn Kelsey is the Scottish king haunted by the ghosts of his murderous ascent to the throne, opposite soprano Lise Davidsen as the power-mad Lady Macbeth, whose ruinous ambition damns them both. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium for a penetrating production by Louisa Proske. Rounding out the all-star cast are tenor Freddie De Tommaso as Macduff and bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green as Banquo.

Emma Oct 22, 2026 I thought it was excellent! A great telling and portrayal of Shakespeares classic, sad story. A bit bloody. But those Scots were wild and war is hell. I did think the price was high for a movie (since it was the encore.) But a good price for a really terrific Met Performance! The costumes alone are always gorgeous and worth the price. See more Pam Oct 22, 2026 Wonderful film directing: closeups of solos, variety of shots of action on stage, etc. See more Steve Oct 22, 2026 Great production and cast. Loved having the matinee option avaiable. See more Gerald S Oct 22, 2026 I have been watching the MET HD transmissions since the very beginning. This was a spectacularly captured performance....this production. is terrific and the singers were among the best for these roles on the planet. I am always gobsmacked at the video direction ---the intiimacy yet authenticity of the close-ups of something being done on a 3000 seat threater. The live movie theater experience is great, The audience in Thousabd Oaks even applauds.... See more Lisa Oct 22, 2026 Brilliant performances by the leads and excellent music. See more Jennifer D Oct 22, 2026 Very moving opera! Honestly, the big screen is a great way to see all characters up close--cameras even took us behind the scenes for an up close and personal view. Felt like I was one of the performers! Money well spent. I plan to come to all the Met Operas this way. See more Read all reviews
