Valley Opera & Performing Arts and Mission Opera, co-produced this fully-staged opera with orchestra, starring Shira Renee Thomas and Xavier Prado as the star-crossed lovers on January 21, 2023 and Sally Field Performing Arts Center in Lake Balboa, California. The outstanding cast also included veteran international artist Joshua Wentz, as well as Hugo Vera, who has appeared as a principal artist at the Metropolitan Opera for 8 seasons.
Director Dylan F. Thomas, noted for his imaginative re-envisioning of mainstays of the operatic repertoire, chose a more traditional presentation for this beloved work. Gounod's romantic music takes us to heights of love and depths of despair, says Thomas, a truly powerful emotional experience.
Take Shakespeares timeless story of passionate, transcendent, ultimately tragic love, add the power of Gounod's soaringly passionate and exquisitely heartbreaking score, and you have the ultimate date movie come to life in a moving live performance.
