Romeo and Juliette - the most beautiful and sad love story of all! Malmö Opera crosses the water and visits the Festival Stage with a concert version of highlights from Charles Gounod’s opera, about the young lovers who are torn apart by the conflict that rages between their families.


Shakespeare’s story has been interpreted in numerous versions throughout time – from the Elizabethan theatre of the 1600s to Baz Luhrmann's epic film with Leonardo di Caprio and Claire Danes in the leading roles. Gounod’s opera version from 1867 is beautiful, grand and offers an impressive string of heartbreaking duets and wistful arias. You can look forward to hearing the wonderful love duet Ange Adorable, Romeo’s longing Ah, lève-toi soleil! and Juliette’s amazing aria, Je veux vivre dans ce rêve.
