Macbeth: Melodramma in Four Acts. Libretto by Francesco Maria Piave Volume 10 Tapa dura - 2006

Brand new, still in publisher's shrink wrap and box. Published in three volumes, this critical edition of Macbeth is the only one based entirely on autograph sources. Containing the later version as the principal score, it is the first edition to consult the composer's manuscripts of the revised pieces, preserved at the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. An appendix contains the earlier movements, and David Lawton provides a wide-ranging introduction to the opera's complex history. This critical edition of Macbeth includes here for the first time Verdi's preferred text—the version he set to music—as well as his own stage directions and thus offers the most vivid and dramatic reading to date. Ships wrapped in bubble wrap and packed securely in a box. International and expedited orders will require an additional shipping charge due to size and weight of the set.
