Mark Jones continues this occasional series by examining Verdi's Macbeth of 1847 in the light of David Pountney's new production for the English National Opera premiered at the London Coliseum in April.

The ten year period 1840–1850 saw the appearance of ten operas by the young Giuseppe Verdi which now constitute his ‘early’ musical output. Not all the operas were equally successful and Verdi later acknowledged their inconsistencies; but here was the work of a genius who was to become the greatest composer in the Italian tradition, and at this time was thought of as a worthy successor to Rossini, Donizetti and Bellini.
