Description Often released in corrupted form, this 1952 performance, without interpolation, of Verdis Macbeth features Maria Callas at the near start of her quarter-century professional career as Lady Macbeth, and Enzo Mascherini, generally forgotten now except to the cognoscenti who know him as one of his eras leading Italian baritones, in the title role. The Orchestra and Chorus of the La Scala, Milan is led by Victor de Sabata, an utterly brilliant conductor who left far to few recordings behind, but more than enough to judge to his true genius.

Macbeth
$8.33
This Shakespearean tragedy enhances literary analysis skills through its exploration of ambition, guilt, and the corrupting nature of power.
By the time Shakespeare came to write Macbeth – almost certainly in 1605/1606 – he had already completed three of the great tragedies with which modern audiences are so familiar: Hamlet (1601), Othello (1603), and King Lear (1605). Each of those plays gives us an eponymous hero who is in some significant way flawed, but for whom we also inevitably feel deep sympathy, whatever his errors or crimes. But in MacBeth, Shakespeare has chosen for his tragic hero a man guilty of the most terrible crime imaginable to a Jacobean audience, that of regicide – the murder of a king. Part of the writer’s triumph is to succeed in making Macbeth, whose crime we must detest, a man in whom we must also see something of our own darker side, our own potential for evil, so that Malcolm’s final judgment on him as a mere “butcher” seems wholly inadequate, the verdict of someone who does not share the audience’s insight into Macbeth’s anguished inner world. Now sit back and enjoy this lively performance, featuring the voices of award-winning actors Stephen Dillane (Macbeth) and Fiona Shaw (Lady Macbeth), accompanied by a full cast.

Macbeth
$16.81
This film provides a visual interpretation of Shakespeare’s classic play, aiding in the study of literature and drama.
Roman Polanski (ROSEMARY’S BABY) imbues his unflinchingly violent adaptation of William Shakespeare’s tragedy of ruthless ambition and murder in medieval Scotland with grit and dramatic intensity. Jon Finch (FRENZY) and Francesca Annis (DUNE) are charged with fury and sex appeal as a decorated warrior rising in the ranks and his driven wife, scheming together to take the throne by any means. Co-adapted by Polanski and the great theater critic and dramaturge Kenneth Tynan, and shot against a series of stunning, stark British Isle landscapes, this version of Macbeth is among the most atmospheric and authentic of all Shakespeare films.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English poet, playwright, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world’s pre-eminent dramatist. His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England, Shakespeare attended King’s New School in Stratford, where he learned Latin and a little Greek and read the Roman dramatists. He married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, later known as the King’s Men. He wrote many of his known plays between 1589 and 1613. His early plays were mainly comedies and histories and these works remain regarded as some of the best work produced in these genres. Shakespeare’s later works included tragedies such as Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth and Antony and Cleopatra. He was a respected poet and playwright in his own day, but his reputation did not truly rise to the heights it is today until the 19th century. Today, his works are amongst the most widely performed and read in the world. Shakespeare’s influence on theatre can be seen in the development of the English language, the use of soliloquies and asides, and the popularity of the romance genre. He is often credited with popularizing the sonnet form in English literature, and many of his works are still studied and performed today. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world’s preeminent dramatist.
