Metropolitan Opera - Roméo Et Juliette

Based on the timeless play by William Shakespeare, Gounod’s sumptuous operatic adaptation traces the universally known tragic story of two star-crossed lovers from feuding families.  A pair of artists at the peak of their vocal powers, soprano Nadine Sierra and tenor Benjamin Bernheim headline in the title roles, with Yannick Nézet-Séguin on the podium to conduct one of the repertoire’s most romantic scores. The cast also features baritone Will Liverman and tenor Frederick Ballentine as the archrivals Mercutio and Tybalt, mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey as the mischievous pageboy Stéphano, and bass-baritone Alfred Walker as Frère Laurent.  Tony Award–winning director Bartlett Sher’s staging combines stunning scenic and costume design to evoke scenes of late–18th-century Italy.

Screening Saturday 20 April & Sunday 21 April 2024 at 1.00pm.
Adults: $28.00, Concessions: $24.00
