William Shakespeare's dark drama  Macbeth  provided the literary inspiration for Giuseppe Verdi's opera. After a victorious battle, the two generals Macbeth and Banco encounter prophetic witches. Macbeth will be King of Scotland. They promise Banco that he will be the father of kings. The enigmatic prophecies ignite Macbeth's lust for power, turning him into a murderer and his wife, Lady Macbeth, into an instigator and accomplice. As King and Queen of Scotland, both live in constant fear of losing power and the discovery of their bloody deeds. Eerie encounters, hellish witches' brews, and dangerous plots offer the children of the opera camp a wide range of opportunities for acting and music in their own stage adaptation.
