Macbeth (Sciarrino)

Macbeth: tre atti senza nome is an opera by Salvatore Sciarrino that received its premiere in Frankfurt in 2002 in a production by Achim Freyer. Although the work is based on endless permutation of a few simple recitation-figures, Sciarrino worked on the opera for 25 years.

^ The Guardian Review "Rather than large-scale grand guignol, Sciarrino's Macbeth becomes a fragile chamber opera, in which the singers and the instrumental ensemble share an intimate, almost symbiotic relationship, with vocal lines often punctuated by just a single instrument. The elusive soundworld, often on the edge of audibility, is instantly recognisable as Sciarrino's, a wonderfully consistent and compellingly obsessive creation that retains the power to shock and surprise."
