Synopsis
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 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.

Horrible experience at AMC 25 in New York. No sound from halfway through the intermission to halfway through the second act. It’s an opera! Hearing it is the point, and this qualified as a major event. And they don’t know when to turn the house lights on and off.
Astounding voices. Astounding communication between Romeo and Juliet. This was amazing!!!
