Romeo and Juliet by Opera Theatre of Saint Louis at Loretto-Hilton Center for the Performing Arts – Friday, June 19, 7:30 PM & Saturday, June 27, 12:30 PM
By: Charles Gounod
These violent delights have violent ends
From the moment they meet at a masquerade ball, Romeo and Juliet are swept into a love as fierce as it is forbidden. Defying a generations-old feud, the young lovers swear to be together — no matter the costs. They marry in secret, clinging to the hope that love might conquer all. For one fleeting, breathless week, they steal moments in the shadows, even as tragedy gathers at the gates. But love cannot escape fate, however unbearable it might be. Gounod’s lush, romantic score brings new emotion to this tragic tale of young love.
All performances are accompanied by members of the Grammy Award-winning St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.

Love awakens in the city of statues.
On a sun-drenched trip to Florence, a young American girl named Clara falls head over heels for a charming Italian named Fabrizio. Their love story begins with a flying hat and a fateful glance — but beneath their whirlwind romance lies a deeper tension. Clara’s over-protective mother, Margaret, harbors concerns about her daughter’s vulnerability and hesitates as the couple rushes toward marriage. Despite language barriers and cultural confusion, the warmth of Fabrizio’s family begins to change everything. With lush music and heartfelt emotion, The Light in the Piazza is a shimmering tale of hope and love.
All performances are accompanied by members of the Grammy Award-winning St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.

When dark fantasies run rampant.
In the sweltering summer heat of New Orleans, Blanche DuBois arrives seeking refuge — but what awaits is more volatile than she could have ever imagined. Forced to move in with her sister Stella and her domineering husband Stanley, Blanche clings to fading dreams of romance and southern gentility. Hope flickers briefly when Blanche sets her sights on Stanley’s friend Mitch. But when Stanley shatters that hope with brutal force, Blanche’s grip on reality begins to unravel and desire turns destructive. With a searing, emotionally charged score, this operatic adaptation of Tennessee Williams’ famed play will leave audiences stunned and shaken.
