Space for Performing Dynamics of Power : Scenography for Verdi’s Macbeth in the Czech Republic after 2000

Original language description

After the Velvet Revolution, Giuseppe Verdi’s Shakespearean opera Macbeth has been staged in the Czech Republic several times. In my paper I analyse the 21-century productions of Giuseppe Verdi’s Shakespearean opera Macbeth in the most prominent Czech theatres. Special attention is paid to scenography of the productions through the lens of audio-visual metaphors incorporated in the directors’ conceptions. I focus on particular metaphors rooted in Shakespeare’s play that enter the stage via Verdi’s opera and stage direction. As visual and audial means of expression, scenography has a potential to express key concepts of Shakespeare’s and Verdi’s work, such as emphasizing – via stage/audio-visual metaphors – dynamics of power, evil, forces of nature and some other.
