Approved

United by love…divided by fate.
Feuding families. Forbidden love. Doomed fate. So much is stacked against young Romeo and Juliet—and yet—love finds a way. Gounod’s opera is a grand and sweeping retelling of one of the most tragic love stories of all time. Everything you want from the captivating saga is here, from soaring music to exquisite duets to heart-stopping duels.

With Romeo and Juliet, WNO joins organizations across the Washington, D.C. region in an exciting festival celebrating the works of William Shakespeare. Simon Godwin, Artistic Director of Shakespeare Theatre Company, directs a phenomenal cast in his highly anticipated opera directorial debut. Even as their fate looms above them, you’ll root for this young couple and their ecstatic love that transcends life itself.

Music by Charles Gounod / Libretto by Jules Barber and Michael Carré after William Shakespeare’s play
In French with Projected English Titles
Composed 1867

The scenery and costumes for this production of Romeo and Juliet are co-produced by Glimmerglass Festival and Washington National Opera
