The Atlanta Opera's "Romeo and Juliet" set (based on the historic Globe Theatre) going up at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. 

Not seen on the Atlanta Opera stage since 2007, Charles Gounod’s "Romeo and Juliet," sung in French, reexamines the story through a decidedly French romantic lens. In France, the work is regarded as Gounod’s best achievement, and has correspondingly produced numerous performances. The Atlanta Opera’s version is a rare, magnificent visual treat.

Come with The Atlanta Opera as we venture to Verona and meet Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile feuding families. Not seen on the Atlanta Opera stage since 2007, Charles Gounod’s opera in five acts, sung in French, reexamines the story through a decidedly French romantic lens. In France, the work is regarded as Gounod’s best achievement, and has correspondingly produced numerous performances. Although it is less frequently performed in the United States, The Atlanta Opera’s version is a rare, magnificent visual treat.

Romeo and Juliet by Gounod, From (2016/2016), Directed by Tomer Zvulun,, Conductor Arthur Fagen, Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, Atlanta, United States
