Roméo et Juliette
Tue 10 June - Fri 13 June
This event has passed.
New production.
Dramatic, ardent and unfailingly melodic, Gounod takes the world’s best-known love story and makes it a lavish melodrama.
The Montagues and the Capulets are divided by age-old enmity. When Roméo gatecrashes a Capulet party he meets Juliette and they fall deeply and dangerously in love. Amidst escalating violence they are secretly married by the sympathetic Friar Laurent, who hopes that their union may begin to reconcile the feuding families. It does – but only after the star-crossed lovers have paid the ultimate price.
Conductor – Martin André (Tue 10 June);
Peter Selwyn (Fri 13 June)
Director – John Fulljames
Sung in French with English titles.
