Met Opera Encore: Roméo Et Juliette
April 6, 12:55 PM – 4:30 PM
Two singers at the height of their powers—radiant soprano Nadine Sierra and tenor sensation Benjamin Bernheim—come together as the star-crossed lovers in Charles Gounod’s sumptuous Shakespeare adaptation, with Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin on the podium to conduct one of the repertoire’s most romantic scores. Bartlett Sher’s elegant staging also features baritone Will Liverman and tenor Frederick Ballentine as the archrivals Mercutio and Tybalt, mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey as the mischievous pageboy Stéphano, and bass-baritone Alfred Walker as Frère Laurent.
(This event is a high-definition rebroadcast of an opera performed live at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.)
Admission: $19 adult, $17 student + senior, $16 child. Eligible for the Youth Arts Access Fund.
