Ernest Bloch’s Macbeth

A Chicago premiere, this powerful opera follows the torments that Macbeth and his Lady experience as they descend the spiral of ambition and murder. Doomed by his own guilt, Macbeth is slain by a man “not born of a woman.” Bloch’s forceful and striking score provides the expressive soundscape for this bone-chilling thriller, where “fair is foul and foul is fair.”
