Organizer

MN Opera

In fair Verona, timeless love blooms and family feuds rage. The Montague and Capulet families have despised each other for generations, but their children only have eyes for each other. Charles Gounod’s evocative score captures Shakespeare’s enduring story of two star-crossed lovers who are willing to sacrifice everything to be together.  

Sung in French with English captions projected above the stage.

Content Warnings/Age Recommendations

Contains mature themes including staged violence, death, suicide and suggestive adult content. This show is recommended for ages 14 and older. 

Themes

  • Juliet and Romeo grow up in a world of intense division, and it prevents them from living the lives they want. How might this dynamic relate to today’s world?
  • Despite the divisions surrounding them, they do make choices. You might agree with their choices, or you may not. In our lives, how does it feel to make choices that someone else doesn’t agree with?
