This brand-new production from Sir David McVicar is the must-see work of the season. 


Vaunting ambition, a thirst for power, and bone-chilling violence collide as one of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies is given the operatic treatment by one of Giuseppe Verdi’s most thrilling scores. Internationally acclaimed conductor Speranza Scappucci returns to lead the COC Orchestra.
