Introduction 45 minutes before the performance
The Romeo and Julia Choir from Stockholm is one of Sweden's best choirs. World-wide acclaim
and admiration came after their performance during the wedding of Princess Victoria of Sweden in
2010. And now they are performing here at the Globe!
Fragments from Shakespeare's Macbeth, sacral and profane choir compositions from Josquin
Desprez (1450 –1521) and the onomatopaetic transposition of the slaughter at Marignan in
Clément Janequins (1485 –1558) composition „La Guerre“ make up the starting material for a gripping choral implementation of the Macbeth drama. The wonderful music from the early renaissance is sung and choreographed sensationally.
„The Scottish Play“ as a musical from the heyday of polyphonic vocal music.
