Shakespeare's Scottish play has been an inspiration for many artists and Verdi regarded it as 'one of the greatest creations of man'. His response was to create a highly dramatic work, with the music conjuring up bleak heaths, raging storms and cackling witches and defining the two tortured souls of Macbeth and his fatally ambitious wife.
