Opera Ireland continues its Shakespearean programme with the ever-popular tragic tale of the star-crossed lovers. Gounod's opera was first performed in Paris in 1867 where its lavish score proved to be an immediate success. The opera captures the most famous scenes from the play including the Capulet's ball, the balcony farewell, the secret marriage and the anguish in the tomb.
Celebrated French soprano Nathalie Manfrino, sings the role of Juliette with American tenor, Michael Spyres as her doomed lover. A favourite among Irish audiences, baritone Marcel Vanaud returns to sing the role of Count Capulet. The cast also features a host of Irish singers including Imelda Drumm as Stephano and Victoria Massey as Gertrude.
The RTE Concert Orchestra will bring to life this dramatic opera under renowned conductor Jerome Pillement. Directed by Annilese Miskimmon with sets and costumes by Leslie Travers this promises to be one of the most romantic operas of the season.
