Romeo and Juliet
From two families divided by hate, two young lovers are joined by fate. Shakespeare’s masterpiece is spun into a gorgeous opera by the rapturous beauty of Gounod’s melodies. Romeo and Juliet are defined by luminous arias as their tender romance unfolds through lush orchestration, and their families’ violent feud plays out in electrifying choruses.
Opera’s new “golden couple”, Stephen Costello and Ailyn Perez, bring radiant voices to stage as Romeo and Juliet. Young, beautiful and wrapped in their own real-life romance, these exciting American singers will draw you into Gounod’s sensual, dreamy and voluptuous music, holding you spellbound as you breathlessly follow the tragic tale of these star-crossed lovers.
The running time is approximately 3 hours, 24 minutes including two 20-minute intermissions.
