The Vienna State Opera will live stream “Macbeth” on Nov. 1, 2019.

The Verdi work will feature the return of Plácido Domingo to the theater for the first time since being accused of sexual misconduct in the United States. The Vienna State Opera stated openly that it would support Domingo in his upcoming contracts, which included his involvement in the sold-out performances of  “Macbeth.”

He will star opposite Tatiana Serjan with Ryan Speedo Green and Jinxu Xiahou rounding out the cast. Giampaolo Maria Bisanti conducts a production directed by Christian Räth.

The stream kicks off at 7 p.m. local time. That’s around 2 p.m. EDT and 11 a.m. PST for the start time.

Per the official website, tickets start at 16 euros (approximately $16 USD) and can be purchased right off the Vienna State Opera’s streaming website. There are options for monthly subscriptions to future performances on the service depending on users’ preference to experience opera from the comfort of their homes.

Next up on the slate of live streams will be “Ariodante,” and “Eugene Onegin.”
