| Shakespeare provided lifelong inspiration for the towering operatic genius that was Giuseppe Verdi, but just three of the Bard's pIays ever emerged fully-fledged from the composer's pen. This trio of landmark productions, featuring a veritable constellation of singers, conductors and directors, are united here under the banner of Verdi's Shakespeare Operas: Macbeth, which Iifted the young composer out of his hard-working 'gaIley years', propeIIing him to international fame and universaI acclaim, and OteIIo and Falstaff, his final two crowning operatic achievements. Simon Keenlyside and Liudmyla Monastyrska are imposing as the Thane and his Lady in Phyllida LIoyd's sumptuous production of The Scottish Play for The RoyaI Opera, conducted by Sir Antonio Pappano, whiIe José Cura interprets the Moor in a profound, intense staging by WiIIy Decker at BarceIona's Liceu. By the end of his dramatic opera career, Verdi claimed he had 'earned at Iast the right to Iaugh a Iittle', and Richard Jones's GIyndebourne FestivaI production of FaIstaff radiates humour, tinged with bitterness and wisdom and brought to life by an internationaI ensemble cast with Christopher Purves in the titIe roIe under the inspiring baton of Vladimir Jurowski. |
