La Cieca is reporting that the 2014-2015 Met season will include a revival of Verdi’s Macbeth featuring Anna Netrebko with Joseph Calleja and René Pape. However there is no baritone announced. From the looks of it, it may Dimitri Hvorostovsky or Zeljko Lucic. Of course it could also be Simon Keenlyside, George Gagnidze, or Thomas Hampson. So these are only a few options. Tell us who you want to see alongside this stellar cast.
Update: It looks like teh eventual Macbeth will Be Lucic reprising the role he sang at the premiere of the production. What do you link of the Met's casting

great cast indeed!!! I would choose Hvorostovsky or Keenlyside!
ReplyDeleteI would choose some other soprano than Netrebko for Lady Macbeth. Ideally Monastyrska...
ReplyDeleteI have listened to Netrebko's Verdi album which is about 1/3 Macbeth and saw a recording of her in concert in St. Petersburg. The part is made for her.
