Daggers are a thane’s best friend
[…] account for his bespatter. Does the director imagine we won’t understand what he’s singing about? Thanks to her, indeed we don’t. To get a Macbeth with four excellent singers in the four leading roles is so rare—but then, LoftOpera’s casting is usually choice—that I unhesitatingly recommend the production to Verdi lovers (wear warm socks and comfortable shoes). Among the lesser roles, Ashley Curling was an impressive “Dama di Lady,” Kofi Hayford an agile Assassin, Martin Schreiner an acceptable Malcolm.

The composer explains: “In the Mormon musical liturgy, it is known as All Is Well, and it is a tune that the great organist Alexander Schreiner used to improvise during Sunday-morning radio broadcasts from the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City.
