The performance, conducted by <strong>David Angus<\/strong>, was pristine&#8230;a bit too pristine for my taste.&nbsp; I like my <em>Macbeth<\/em> rougher&#8230;and dirtier.&nbsp; The only thing dirty in this production were the costumes \u2013 and in the court scenes, I would have liked them a bit more pristine.&nbsp; What can I say?&nbsp; I\u2019m difficult to please.&nbsp; On the whole, the production was serviceable, while some of the direction clashed with the projected titles.&nbsp; As Mr. and Mrs. Macbeth, <strong>Norman Garrett <\/strong>and <strong>Alexandra LoBianco <\/strong>were vocally committed if somewhat lacking in personality and bite.&nbsp; Still, one left feeling it was a noble effort \u2013 and Boston is lucky to have a company committed to attempting such challenging repertoire in a classy setting.&nbsp; More details on the season can be found on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.BLO.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>BLO.org<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.billymasters.com\/custom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/colorbar1.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-568\" src=\"http:\/\/www.billymasters.com\/custom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/colorbar1.gif\" alt=\"colorbar1\" width=\"500\" height=\"1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In a recent podcast, <strong>Glen Powell <\/strong>admitted that he was a frontrunner for a role in <strong><em>Glee<\/em><\/strong>.&nbsp;
