San Diego Opera presents "Romeo and Juliet"

From two families divided by hate come two young lovers joined by fate. Shakespeare’s masterpiece is spun into a gorgeous opera by the beauty of Gounod’s melodies. Romeo and Juliet are defined by luminous arias as their tender romance unfolds through lush orchestration, and their families’ violent feud plays out in electrifying choruses.

Real-life husband and wife duo Stephen Costello and Ailyn Pérez make their Company debut as these tragic star-crossed lovers.
