Will these star-crossed lovers be able to endure their feuding kin or succumb to tragedy? From tender intimacy to ecstatic grandeur, Gounod\u2019s adaptation of Shakespeare\u2019s eternal drama comes to life in a cinematic-inspired production. Gounod\u2019s lush, romantic opera will explore the fragility of innocence and youth in the face of political turmoil. Real life couple \u2013 and Toledo Opera audience favorites \u2013 Zach Borichevsky and Kathryn Lewek star as Romeo and Juliet. Maestro Adam Turner returns to Toledo to conduct as director James Mitchell brings this timeless tragedy to life. Sung in French with English Supertitles.<\/p>\n For media access, please contact Rachael Cammarn at rcammarn@toledoopera.org<\/a> or Malynda Goolsbee at malynda@toledospirits.com.<\/p>\n Toledo Opera will perform Romeo & Juliet<\/em> at the Valentine Theatre on Friday, February 16 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, February 18 at 2 p.m. To learn more about Romeo & Juliet <\/em>cast and production team and to buy tickets, visit: toledoopera.org.
