Macbeth at Dubai Opera

Dubai Opera is pleased to present a modern take on Shakespeare’s masterpiece, Macbeth, from the 3rd to the 5th of November, brought to you by ETT, Shakespeare North Playhouse, Northern Stage and Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg.

A struggling and divided nation, tearing itself apart. So, when the Macbeths see their chance at the crown, why shouldn’t they take it?

But things don’t go according to plan. Dreams quickly turn to nightmares, humanity erodes, nature stirs. As society strives to make sense of the darkness that sits inside it, how long will it take for people to fight back against the endless cycle of violence and corruption?

Don’t miss this new take on Shakespeare’s timeless creation, Macbeth, directed by Richard Twyman; A visceral and contemporary new production that speaks to a world we find ourselves living in now and asks why Macbeth has haunted our fears and nightmares for centuries. A production that will urge you to discover the cautionary tale it is still urgently trying to communicate to us.
