Don't miss Vincenzo Bellini's adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet at the Opera Bastille, Paris, 2022.

To a libretto based on a literary source predating Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Vincenzo Bellini created one of the finest examples of romantic bel canto. The orchestra, with its remarkable economy of means, and the work's supremely elegant vocal lines combine to offer the purest, most authentic dramatic expression. Under the baton of Speranza Scappucci, Marianne Crebassa and Julie Fuchs embody the star-crossed lovers in Robert Carsen's elegant and refined staging.
