Mission Opera, in collaboration with Valley Opera & Performing Arts, is excited to bring you this fully-staged opera with orchestra, starring Catherine Kenney and Vincent McPherson as the star-crossed lovers. The outstanding cast also includes veteran international artist Joshua Wentz, as well as Nathan Stark and Hugo Vera, both of whom have appeared as principals on the Metropolitan Opera stage.
Director Dylan F. Thomas, noted for his imaginative re-envisioning of mainstays of the operatic repertoire, has chosen a more traditional presentation for this beloved work. Gounods 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.
