THE CAPULETS AND THE MONTAGUES
LYRIC TRAGEDY IN TWO ACTS (1830)
MUSIC BY VINCENZO BELLINI (1801-1835)
LIBRETTO BY FELICE ROMANI
Performed in Italian
When adapting the legend of the doomed lovers to opera, librettist Romani gave it a still gloomier mood: the quarrel between the two families becomes an implacable and bloody feud. Karine Deshayes and Ekaterina Siurina lend their voices to Romeo and Juliette to complement Bellini’s intensely dramatic music.
