But here we can call it by its true name, as Macbeth is coming to the Atlanta Opera this spring. The second of the company's operatic Shakespearean works to be performed, Macbeth promises to take your breath away, with the exceptional Michael Mayes and Sara Gartland as the villainous Lord and Lady. What's done is done, and we know that you'll love it so much that you'll see it again tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow!
After a rousing success at the battlefield, Macbeth happens upon a trio of witches who deliver to him a life-altering prophecy, that he will one day be King of all Scotland. Macbeth descends into betrayal, murder, and madness as his quest for power reaches tragic heights.
