Macbeth / 1971

Fusing Shakespeare‘s tragedy with the Verdi opera, Schroeter's Macbeth is a fascinating television experiment shot entirely in a studio with several electronic cameras. As Schroeter would recall, "I arranged the Verdi music for a quartet of violin, accordion, piano and oboe, but modeled the rhythms on Argentinian tangos and boleros. The actors sang with horrifying, shrill voices.... The use of video allowed me to produce extraordinary colors.... Of all my films, Macbeth was most unwelcome: Audiences don’t like their Shakespeare to be presented in this way, but I do not differentiate between kitsch and culture...". - MoMA

Macbeth è la decima opera lirica di Giuseppe Verdi. Il libretto, tratto dal Macbeth di William Shakespeare, fu firmato da Francesco Maria Piave. Dopo l'iniziale successo, il 14 marzo 1847, al Teatro della Pergola di Firenze, l'opera cadde nel dimenticatoio, e in Italia fu riesumata con strepitoso successo al Teatro alla Scala il 7 dicembre 1952, con Maria Callas nei panni della protagonista femminile. Da allora è entrata stabilmente in repertorio.

Macbeth is a 1978 videotaped version of Trevor Nunn's Royal Shakespeare Company production of the play by William Shakespeare. Produced by Thames Television, it features Ian McKellen as Macbeth and Judi Dench as Lady Macbeth. The TV version was directed by Philip Casson. The original stage production was performed at The Other Place, the RSC's small studio theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. It had been performed in the round before small audiences, with a bare stage and simple costuming. The recording preserves this style: the actors perform on a circular set and with a mostly black background changes of setting are indicated only by lighting changes.
