Check out MacBeth at the Chicago Opera Theater

Here's the details. 

From the moment the curtain rises, this 110-minute non-stop thriller captures the dark and bloody world where ambition and revenge run rampant.  Nmon Ford as Macbeth is “compelling, weak, nervous, delusional in his courageousness. His voice crisp and burnished.” (Opera News).
The 26-year-old Swiss-American composer Bloch wrote this highly dramatic version in 1906. He invests Shakespeare’s original text with an emotional, hair-raising score of tremendous power, “teeming with Richard Strauss flourishes and echoes of Wagner…. a gripping, close-up case for a rare piece that deserves to be heard.” (Los Angeles Times). Experience this long overdue Chicago Premiere.
