Originally released in 1987. Macbeth is a feature film. directed by Claude d'Anna. With a runtime of 2h 13m, it's an epic theatrical experience.
Starring Shirley Verrett, Leo Nucci, and Samuel Ramey
Synopsis
This production of Giuseppi Verdi's opera based on Macbeth, the famed play by William Shakespeare, is a musical succès d'estime but falls short in the cinematic arena. Shirley Verrett stars as the murderous and ambitious Lady Macbeth, Leo Nucci co-stars as her similarly ambitious but slightly more scrupulous husband, who has the good grace to feel some horror at his deeds before he does them. The entire opera was filmed inside a Belgian castle, and some of the smaller parts are obviously lip-synched to pre-recorded music.
