ETO returns to Truro with a tale of two households, both alike in dignity, and two lovers, doomed by the conflict between their families. Bellini’s The Capulets and the Montagues is a gritty re-working of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, where loyalty and love are put to the test amidst political violence, set to exquisite bel canto operatic music that brings the story’s tragedy to the fore.
Sung in Italian with English surtitles
What are surtitles?
Surtitles are screens on either side of the screen that display the words, or translation, of the opera that you are watching. Surtitles are there to help you to understand what is being communicated on-stage, particularly if the opera is being sung in a language that you do not know.
