Fair is Foul, and Foul is Fair

Unless it's design-related, we don't gen­er­ally get into event pro­mo­tion here at ProDesign Towers. Of course, one shouldn't get stuck in a bubble, espe­cially when inter­est­ing promo shots such as these fall across your desk. If the Auck­land and Wel­ling­ton ver­sions of Verdi's Macbeth, by Opera North, look half as good as these pho­tos then even I might be forced put aside my hea­then nature for a few hours…

For the record, here's the blurb: "Verdi’s Macbeth, one of the greatest operas Shakespeare’s work has inspired, is the clas­sic tale of ambi­tion, cor­rup­tion and bloody revenge. Truth­ful to the play, it illus­trates with shock­ing clar­ity the trail of death and destruc­tion caused by an unbridled lust for power, and its tra­gic dénoue­ment – this is an example of enthralling oper­atic drama at its very best."
