This opera, created by the great musician Giuseppe Verdi and based on Shakespeare’s tragic play of Macbeth, has never been on stage in the form of puppet show before.

Behrooz Gharibpour has prepared this fabulous work of art during the whole last year by the help of his group: Ali Pakdast, Maryam Eghbali, Hengameh Sazesh, Maryam Moeini, Mohsen Imankhani, Ali Abolkheirian, Ghazal Eskandarnejad, Mona Kiyanifar, Homayoon Salahi, Salma Mohseni, Afsaneh Zamani, Banafsheh Samadi, Kamelia Noohi and others.

There are a number of 88 bar and fixed string puppets and marionettes in this Italian play.

Gharibpour, having received a diploma of honor for performing his Rostam and Sohrab puppet opera on the last day of Prague International Puppet Show Festival, is trying to demonstrate his professional group’s potential and respond to the enthusiasm of the audience who have participated in his Rostam  & Sohrab show even for several times.
