This is L.A. Opera`s latest production of Giuseppe Verdi`s ``Macbeth`` featuring Placido Domingo in the title role alongside the Russian mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Semenchuk as Lady Macbeth. The opera is staged by Darko Tresnjak, who won a Tony Award for his direction of the Broadway music ``A Gentleman`s Guide to Love and Murder.`` ``Placido Domingo commands the stage and the music he sings...He was genuinely impressive.`` (Los Angeles Times) ``When I was a young tenor, I loved playing romantic or heroic leading roles. When I began to add baritone parts to my repertoire six years ago, I was particularly interested in playing fathers, as I could draw from my own experience as a family man. Macbeth is a completely different kind of role for me. He is a murderer, but I think that he is also something of a victim, drawn into his crimes by the witches and by Lady Macbeth.`` (Placido Domingo)
