It wasn't until 1974 that Verdi's Macbeth was performed in Bulgaria in the production heard here sung in Bulgarian. Additional productions have taken place in Ruse and Varna. It is particularly unfortunate that Smochevski's exciting reading of the title role and Wiener's portrayal of Lady Macbeth were captured only in monaural sound.
