A blogger reports that Chandos is recording Verdi's Macbeth. I imagine that the recording will be in English.

Chandos Records are recording Verdi's Macbeth at Blackheath Halls at the moment, with Edward Gardner OBE conducting the English National Opera Orchestra.

The soloists are
Latonia Moore -- Lady Macbeth
Simon Keenlyside -- Macbeth
Gwyn Hughes Jones -- Macduff
Brindley Sherratt -- Banquo
Ben Johnson -- Malcolm
Elizabeth Llewellyn -- Lady Macbeth's Lady in Waiting.

SIMON KEENLYSIDE, barítono: 'ME INTERESA LA MÚSICA COMO UNA REFLEXIÓN SOBRE LA VIDA, PERO NO COMO UN MODO DE VIDA EN SÍ MISMO'

In the codalario interview Simon says that he has been offered the baritone role in Strauss's Die Liebe der Danae. He also says that Mandryka in Arabella would be a good option for him. But he doesn't imply there are any definite plans for those roles. He does say that he will probably do Boccanegra, but not for now. He will do Beckmesser in 2017, in a performance with Bryn Terfel.
