Last seen on the Seagle stage in 2010, this tuneful opera closely follows the original source work and has become a staple of the operatic repertoire. Highlights include a haunting choral prologue, striking and memorable arias for each of the star-crossed lovers, exciting sword fighting scenes, and of course – a tragic ending.
