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.

Director 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:

 

“This is opera that doesn’t just touch you - it consumes you.”

CONTENT WARNING: This production contains scenes depicting nudity, violence and blood.

Opera Up Close. Horror Up Closer.

With 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.

Whether you’re a seasoned opera-goer or a fan of live psychological thrillers, this production will leave its mark.
