Enjoy a special night out at the opera as Bellini’s stunning reworking of Romeo & Juliet tells afresh the eternal story of loyalty and love put to the test.

The Capulets & The Montagues is a tale of two households at war and of two lovers in over their heads, doomed by the conflict between their families. Bellini’s opera remains a fresh, vital take on a well-loved story that brings the warring families’ emotional and political struggle to life with devastating power. Bellini took an old libretto by his friend Felice Romani and in just six weeks created an opera that catapulted him to international renown.

Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
