Robert Eisenstein, director of the Folger Consort, was musical director for the 2018 production of Davenant’s Macbeth at the Folger Theatre, a collaboration between the Folger Shakespeare Library and the research project ‘Performing Restoration Shakespeare’. In this interview with Amanda Eubanks Winkler, Eisenstein explains the role of music in the Restoration theatre and the particular musical demands of Restoration Shakespeare. Based on his experience at the Folger, he also reflects on the challenges and opportunities for musicians in performing Restoration Shakespeare today with Restoration-era music (some of which had been composed for the original productions) and offers suggestions for both musical and stage directors in bringing this unique historical repertoire to life on the contemporary stage.
