DESCRIPTION:
mnopera.org - Angela Mortellaro and Joshua Dennis star in Minnesota Opera's production of Gounod's timeless opera, Romeo & Juliet, Sept. 24-Oct.2, 2016 at the Ordway Center for Performing Arts.

Two young lovers, their relationship forbidden by clannish feuding, sacrifice everything to be together. French composer Charles Gounod gives a decidedly sumptuous, 19th-century spin to Shakespeare’s classic tale of passion and tragedy.

Preliminary runtime of 2 hours and 59 minutes, including one intermission.

Sung in French with English translations projected above the stage.
