Based on the world’s most famous love story by William Shakespeare, Charles Gounod tells this tragic tale through sweeping melodies and a series of some of opera’s most touching love duets. The youthful Juliet has no desire to be wed, but everything changes when Romeo enters her family’s party incognito, and their eyes meet. Hoping to overcome a long standing feud between their families, the star-crossed lovers are wed in secret. However there are some conflicts that not even the purest of loves can ease. Romeo and Juliet hold steadfast to their bond, accepting whatever fate may bring, as long as they can remain together.

Conductor Aaron Breid and Director Fenlon Lamb both return after 2016’s double bill of Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi. Celebrated soprano Sarah Coburn (Manon, ‘17) and tenor Nathan Granner (Rodolfo/La Bohème, ‘18) return as the eponymous lovers.

Redeem before April 15, 2020.
