SUMMARY:BK Opera: Macbeth
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning indie company BK Opera returns this November with a chilling\, immersive take on Verdi’s Macbeth – a psychological horror experience that puts the audience within arm’s reach of ambition\, madness\, and murder. Staged inside the historic Kensington Town Hall\, the production transforms the venue into a decomposing dinner party – decadent\, deranged\, and deeply unsettling. \nDirector Kate Millett (OperaChaser Best Director 2024) leads a powerhouse creative team and cast\, all of whom bring serious acclaim to the table. Millett’s vision for this Macbeth is intimate and unrelenting:  \n“This is opera that doesn’t just touch you – it consumes you.” \nCONTENT WARNING: This production contains scenes depicting nudity\, violence and blood. \nOpera Up Close. Horror Up Closer. \nWith audience members seated mere metres from the action\, this Macbeth strips away the polish and grandeur of traditional opera\, revealing raw ambition\, psychological fracture\, and moral rot. \n​Whether you’re a seasoned opera-goer or a fan of live psychological thrillers\, this production will leave its mark. \n\nMACBETH : HENRY SHAWLADY MACBETH : LIVIA BRASHMACDUFF : DANIEL SZESIONG TODDBANQUO : NICK BEECHERENSEMBLE: Christopher-Jack Andrews\, Heulen Cynfal\, Charlotte Goode\, Alicia Groves\, Douglas McQueen-Thomson\, Phoebe Paine\, Beth Paterson\, Beth Potter\, Archie Rumsam\, Bradley Storer\, Johanna Tan\, Marli van der Bijl \nFri\,day 21 Nov\, 8pm – 11pm \nSun\, 23 Nov\, 8pm – 11pm \nTue\, 25 Nov\, 8pm – 11pm \nKensington Town Hall 30-34 BELLAIR ST\, KENSINGTON VIC21 – 25 NOV 2025 \n\n\n\nGeneral Admission ticket\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS: $60.00; Concession $45; Under 30 $30
