Charles Gounod's opera follows closely Shakespeare's story of love and extended family feuds to its tragic conclusion. Gounod's version has been described as "the most classically operatic of all renditions" and includes a "sumptuous score" that dazzles "with swirling waltzes, dramatic choruses, and an exquisite flood of sublime love duets." Join us for a pre-performance talk by Peter Jacobi, music critic and columnist for The (Bloomington) Herald-Times, as well as the opening night performance at the IU Opera Theater. Professor Jacobi, who has written for The New York Times, the Chicago Daily News, Opera, Symphony, and a wide range of other publications, is a professor emeritus in the IU School of Journalism and a former chair of the Indiana Arts Commission.
