March 9 – Star Crossed Lovers: Romeo and Juliet and its Composers
presented by Dr. Jeffrey Langford


Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet was the inspiration for numerous musical adaptations—both symphonic and operatic—in the nineteenth century. But the various musical realizations of this timeless story of tragic love are as different as their composers. Dr. Jeffrey Langford examines Gounod’s adaptation of this story in relation to those of Bellini and Berlioz.


This event will be held in the Metropolitan Opera Guild Opera Learning Center on the 6th floor of the Samuel B. & David Rose building at Lincoln Center.
