Roméo et Juliette by Charles Gounod
Host: Ailyn Pérez
Hailed by the New York Times for singing “with white-hot sensuality and impassioned lyricism,” Diana Damrau and Vittorio Grigolo star as the tragic lovers in Shakespeare’s classic story. This new production of Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette by director Bartlett Sher also features Virginie Verrez as Stéphano, Elliot Madore as Mercutio, and Mikhail Petrenko as Frère Laurent. Gianandrea Noseda conducts the sumptuous score.
Running time: approximately 2 hours 56 minutes, 1 intermission
