De qui parlez-vous donc

Launching the company’s 40th Anniversary season will be an all-new production of Gounod’s Romeo
and Juliet, directed by Shawna Lucey, her first production for the company she now helms.
Following on the heels of Lucey’s critically acclaimed legacy production of La Traviata for San
Francisco Opera, this production will also bear Lucey’s inimitable stamp. For this work, OSJ will bring
Shakespeare’s play about feuding factions and illicit love to the stage in a vibrant new production.
Audiences can expect swashbuckling sword fighting, lively dancing, and a young, diverse cast. Lucey
describes her vision for this production as “a piece for our time, with a focus on how deep divisions
can make love illegal.” Several artists will make role debuts, including Indian-American soprano
Melissa Sondhi in the role of Juliet and rising star tenor Joshua Sanders as Romeo. Armed with a
sword and commanding tenor voice, Alex Boyer returns to the California Theatre in the role of
Tybalt, and former Adler Fellow and renowned bass Kenneth Kellogg joins the production as the
Duke. Bass Vartan Gabrielian makes his OSJ debut as Frère Laurent and baritone Jesús Vicente
Murillo debuts with the company as Mercutio, with additional casting to be announced. Opera San
José Director of Music Joseph Marcheso will conduct.
