Simon Keenlyside and Anna Pirozzi: chilling psychopaths in Covent Garden’s impressive revival of Macbeth
“The young Italian conductor Daniele Rustioni proved himself a dynamic and exciting interpreter of the score. One sensed this might be the case early on given his electrifying opening which had both mood and drama. Rarely did this music drag – although it is a difficult opera to make that happen so tight is Verdi’s composition of it (but it happens). The playing of the orchestra was magnificent.”
