This play has Scot to be good

Shakespeare’s bloody tale of ambition, betrayal and supernatural prophecy gets the grand-opera treatment when the Metropolitan Opera’s “Macbeth” streams live to the Newport Performing Arts Center this Sunday, Oct. 11.

Giuseppe Verdi’s adaptation follows Macbeth and his fiercely ambitious wife as they pursue the Scottish throne, setting in motion a cycle of murder, guilt and vengeance.

Renowned baritone Quinn Kelsey takes the title role, with dramatic soprano Lise Davidsen as Lady Macbeth. Tenor Freddie De Tommaso appears as Macduff and bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green portrays Banquo.

Metropolitan Opera Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts, with acclaimed theater director Louisa Proske directing the production.

Part of The Met: Live in HD series, the performance will be streamed live from the Metropolitan Opera stage in New York and projected in Ultra High Definition on the big screen in the Alice Silverman Theatre.

Sunday’s performance begins at 10 am at the Newport Performing Arts Center, located at 777 W Olive Street. Tickets range from $14 to $30. For more information or tickets, go to coastarts.org or call 541-265-2787.
