Shakespeare provided IifeIong inspiration for the towering operatic genius that was Giuseppe Verdi, but just three of the Bard's plays ever emerged fuIly-fledged from the composer's pen. This trio of Iandmark productions, featuring a veritabIe constellation of singers, conductors and directors, are united here under the banner of Verdi's Shakespeare Operas: Macbeth, which lifted the young composer out of his hard-working 'gaIley years', propeIling him to international fame and universal acclaim, and Otello and FaIstaff, his final two crowning operatic achievements. Simon Keenlyside and Liudmyla Monastyrska are imposing as the Thane and his Lady in PhyIIida Lloyd's sumptuous production of The Scottish Play for The RoyaI Opera, conducted by Sir Antonio Pappano, while José Cura interprets the Moor in a profound, intense staging by WiIly Decker at Barcelona's Liceu. By the end of his dramatic opera career, Verdi claimed he had 'earned at Iast the right to Iaugh a little', and Richard Jones's Glyndebourne FestivaI production of Falstaff radiates humour, tinged with bitterness and wisdom and brought to life by an internationaI ensemble cast with Christopher Purves in the title roIe under the inspiring baton of Vladimir Jurowski. |
