Abstract

V originále

After the Velvet Revolution, Giuseppe Verdi’s Shakespearean opera Macbeth has been staged in the Czech Republic several times. In my paper I analyse the 21-century productions of Giuseppe Verdi’s Shakespearean opera Macbeth in the most prominent Czech theatres. Special attention is paid to scenography of the productions through the lens of audio-visual metaphors incorporated in the directors’ conceptions. I focus on particular metaphors rooted in Shakespeare’s play that enter the stage via Verdi’s opera and stage direction. As visual and audial means of expression, scenography has a potential to express key concepts of Shakespeare’s and Verdi’s work, such as emphasizing – via stage/audio-visual metaphors – dynamics of power, evil, forces of nature and some other.
