This production seemed quite traditional in its visuals but surprised the audience by in fact telling the story in quite a novel way. Purists were offended but mostly the show was lauded for its phsychological insight and power, and for balancing Macbeth’s detailed characterisation with an unusually deep exploration of Lady Macbeth’s reasons for acting as she does and of her feeling of guilt . The ballet music was performed quasi complete as a space for that exploration. Also Lady MacDuff and her family were reintroduced into the narrative to shocking effet when the MacDuff family is murdered during Patria Opressa.
