This opera tells the timeless story of Romeo and Juliet. Master of Bel Canto opera Vincenzo Bellini brings to life the tragic struggle between love and family honor through soaring vocals and poignant harmonies. While it is set in Verona during the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues, Bellini offers a different take on the original story than Shakespeare’s play. The opera centers on the final hours of the star-crossed lovers: how political rivalry sealed the fate of a forbidden love.
