    Based on Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy of star-crossed lovers, Roméo et Juliette sets an impassioned secret affair against a grandly scaled backdrop of fierce family rivalries. Gounod’s score thrills the ear with swirling waltzes, dramatic choruses and exquisite arias. Four sublime love duets flood the theatre with intoxicating romance, making Roméo et Juliette an unforgettable experience to savor.

    Tenor sensation Vittorio Grigolo makes his L.A. Opera debut as Roméo, with the enchanting Nino Machaidze returning as Juliette. Plácido Domingo conducts this L.A. Opera landmark production. As Frère Laurent, the magnificent bass Vitalij Kowaljow returns for his first L.A. Opera appearance since his performances as Wotan in the Ring cycle. Baritone Vladimir Chernov, an L.A. Opera favorite, returns as Count Capulet.
