War Memorial Opera House

This staging of the bel canto heavyweight stays faithful to the genre. High walls surround the two lovers, and Joyce di Donato's moving and powerful performance as Romeo wonderfully captures the hopelessness of their situation. Lacroix's elaborate costumes give the staging an aura of sophistication.
