87 - Giuseppe Verdi's Macbeth



One of his early masterpieces, this chilling adaption of Shakespeare's play features one of Verdi's darkest female roles, Lady Macbeth. Renowned for its difficulty, the role ranges across coloratura, pianissimo and some fearsome fortissimo singing across a wide span of the soprano voice. 

Here is the Lady's entrance sung by one of the greatest dramatic sopranos of all time... the awesome Birgit Nilsson!!!
