Macbeth (2x3)

:

A coven of witches tells fortunes: Macbeth will be king one day, but his guard, Banquo, will father kings. Lady Macbeth likes this idea, so they move the agenda along by murdering King Duncan, and then, oh-what-the-heck, Banquo too. Macbeth is crowned King, and Lady Macbeth hosts a celebration dinner for him. But when the dead Banquo unexpectedly crashes the party, the trouble starts... Verdi's treatment follows Shakespeare closely, although this production updates it to modern times.
