Why see Macbeth?
Starring Placido Domingo as Macbeth!
General Director and opera legend Placido Domingo stars in the title role of Shakespeare's bloody tale of power and rampant ambition. One the most famous tragedy ever written, the story follows general Macbeth on his quest to take the Scottish crown by any means necessary, aided by his conniving wife Lady Macbeth. Verdi's operatic version of the story is seen as one of the composer's key early works, with its tour-de-force score pointing the way forward to his later masterpieces Aida and Rigoletto.
Directed by Tony winner Darko Tresnjak (A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder), this will be the first staging of Verdi's work by LA Opera since 1987. The creative team also includes the celebrated stage and screen costume designer Suttirat Anne Larlarb, best known for her workd with Danny Boyle on films such as Slumdog Millionaire and 127 Hours.

Fine musicians and very entertaining!
This concert exceeded my expectations. I was in row four with no one in front of me, which made me sad that people missed out on such an amazing show. Their voices, the tight band, the amazing guitar playing, all of it was fabulous. They played the hits from the 70s and Graham played a song off his latest album. It was wonderful. I'm glad I drove 4 hours from Morro Bay, CA to see this! Great talent & wonderful venue. Thank you!! ... Read more

Superb Night in Nashville
Brooklyn Bowl fans got a treat as the bsbd rocked mightily from Second Sitting opener through the final jam on Rubber Bullets. Graham was in great form and Paul Fenn highlighted many of the songs with his tasty guitar licks. The highlight was Feel The Benefit, all 15 minutes played fabulously. Except for a bit of mike trouble on the first bars of " I'm not in Love" the sound was superb . Dreadlock Holiday ended the main set with the crowd singing loudly ..An acapella Donna was fun and then they jammed furiously on Rubber Bullets to end it. Robin Taylor Zander opened with a great set of his own songs , a nifty cover of "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young and of course ended with his Dad's Cheap Trick smash " I Want You To Want Me". All in all a fantastic musical evening in a great venue ... Read more

Art for art's sake
(money for God's sake) The only thing wrong with this show was that more people weren't in attendance to enjoy it. Graham Gouldman and his mates put on a show that was as charming as it was tight. Having never seen the original lineup I can't compare with the current band but boy did those songs (all the hits plus the most loved deep cuts) sound good even at 50+ years old. If this show comes your way, don't miss your chance to see these legends of art-pop. ... Read more
