4 More Performances of Bel Cantanti's "Romeo et Juliette" in Rockville

Chun-Ting Chao & Eric Gramatges

Star-crossed lovers, dueling houses, devious plots—oh my! 

Join Bel Cantanti Opera as we re-tell the timeless classic love story of Romeo and Juliet through the brilliance of Charles Gounod’s famous opera, Roméo et Juliette. While this classic tale has been retold numerous times through movies, plays, ballets and other operas, Gounod’s music speaks to the heart and you’ll have strain's of Juliette’s aria, Ah, Je Veux Vivre, waltzing in your head by night’s end.

Performed in French with the English supertitles, fully staged, in costume. Accompanied by the chamber orchestra directed by BCO Artistic Director, Dr. Katerina Souvorova.

When the wily Isabella and her would-be lover, Taddeo, are shipwrecked on the shore of Algiers, the Bey realizes that he has found his Italian girl. But once Isabella discovers Lindoro working as a slave for the Bey, she sets in motion a plan to steal back her lover and leave Algiers for good.
