Last updated: 14 June 2011
A band of assassins has gathered to carry out Macbeth's orders to murder Banquo. In the recitative, Banquo warns his son, Fleance, to watch his step and make his escape. Banquo's aria tells of his premonitions of doom as the night grows dark. At last, Macbeth's men attack him, and he dies calling on his son to flee.
