As the centrepiece of this year's Proms Shakespeare celebrations, we bring Glyndebourne's new production of Macbeth. Glyndebourne's dynamic Music Director Vladimir Jurowski builds on his successful partnership with director Richard Jones in the Bard's tale of a weak man driven to murder by his unscrupulous wife and by uncontained ambition. Verdi responded with white-hot inspiration to a tragedy which he regarded as 'one of the greatest creations of man'.
