Aotea Centre
Choreographer Alice Topp (Aurum, Logos, High Tide) focuses on naked ambition, political power and transgression in this new, original staging, bringing Shakespeare’s iconic characters into a shadowy world of manipulation by media, boardroom intrigue and sudden violence.
The seduction of success and adulation give way to doubt, paranoia and madness, with Alice Topp’s mesmerising movement and Christopher Gordon’s pounding new score, performed live by members of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, inexorably driving Macbeth and his Lady to a conclusion that is as inevitable as it is devastating.
Presented in association with Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki Auckland Arts Festival, Macbeth is a co-production with West Australian Ballet
Proudly part of the Auckland Council whānau

Local tip He tīwhiri mō te rohe
Check out the sculpture of celebrated Kiwi opera singer Dame Kiri Te Kanawa which sits on Level 3 of the Aotea Centre. It was created by local artist Terry Stringer and unveiled by Dame Kiri Te Kanawa herself when the auditorium was named in her honour in 2019.
