Two of opera’s most extraordinary and spectacular artists return to The Met: Live in HD for Verdi’s thrilling take on the immortal Shakespearean tale of the scheming couple determined to seize power at any cost and can be seen on the Torch Theatre screen this October.

Following past triumphs in many of Verdi’s signature baritone roles, Hawii’s Quinn Kelsey is the Scottish king haunted by the ghosts of his murderous ascent to the throne, opposite Norway’s Lise Davidsen— the world’s reigning dramatic soprano—as the power-mad Lady Macbeth, whose ruinous ambition damns them both. Lise was also played Lady Macbeth in Macbeth Diamond Junilee: 60 Years at Lincoln Center this year. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin takes the podium for a penetrating production by Louisa Proske, a brilliant young director making waves around the world. Rounding out the all-star cast are tenor London’s Freddie De Tommaso as the heroic Macduff and bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green from Virginia as Macbeth’s friend-turned-victim Banquo. Ryan mad his Met debut as Mandarin in Turandot in 2012. He also played Klingsor in Parsifal.
