Plácido Domingo, who just celebrated his 50th stage anniversary in Vienna - incredibly - continues to conquer the central baritone roles of Giuseppe Verdi. In this performance from LA Opera, it is the abysmal title part of the Macbeth, one of the most fascinating opera characters ever. Flanked by Ekaterina Semenschuks as Lady and by Ildebrando D'Arcangelo as Banquo. Veteran James Conlon conducts the choir and orchestra of the Los Angeles Opera. The highly acclaimed staging comes from Darko Tresnjak.

Review

Jean Paul Garcia

I attended this performance by LA Opera. The conductor Conlon gave us a short but enlightening lecture an hour before the performance. My seat was a little too far and I missed parts of actions. Especially I could not read the expressions of singers. I am extremely happy that they produced a DVD that shows details of actions in fine blue ray resolution and superb audio quality. Verdi would have liked the performances by Domingo and Semenchuk and Conlon. Stages and costumes were designed meticulously with ample budget.
