# Macbeth opens in Florence on 14 March 1847 as Verdi’s first Shakespeare opera

Date: 1847

## The fact

Britannica dates Macbeth’s 14 March 1847 Florence premiere. Librettist Piave and the Teatro della Pergola share the night.

It is one event.

## Context

Ernani is neighbouring early-middle Verdi.

Giuseppe Verdi’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death.

Grand-ducal Florence theatre; Verdi’s first deep Shakespeare engagement.

Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file.

## Evidence and sources

Britannica and Istituto Verdiani files independently date the 1847 Macbeth premiere.

Official or archival record: Britannica — Giuseppe Verdi (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Giuseppe-Verdi; Encyclopaedia Britannica).

## Significance

A Shakespearean opera premiere is an edu path for staged political tragedy.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 14 March 1847 Florence premiere. Not established: that the 1865 revision is this same act.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Giuseppe Verdi.

They are not a public rating.

Giuseppe Verdi did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Keep 1865 Paris Macbeth distinct. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Giuseppe Verdi.
