The Met Live Program Will Present ‘Roméo et Juliette’ Saturday
A scene from "Romeo et Juliette"
Krstian Schuller, Metropolitan Opera
At Guild Hall
The Met: Live in HD will present “Roméo et Juliette,” Charles Gounod’s 1867 opera, on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Guild Hall. The new production, directed by Bartlett Sher, his seventh for the Met, stars Diana Damrau and Vittorio Grigolo as the doomed lovers.
Anthony Tommasini, reviewing the New Year’s Eve performance for The New York Times, wrote, “In scene after scene, these exciting and charismatic artists disappeared into their characters, emboldening each other to sing with white-hot sensuality and impassioned lyricism.”
Tickets are $22, $20 for members, and $15 for students.
