Marie Lenormand: Romeo

Bellini’s bel canto retelling of the “Romeo and Juliet” story, here based on Italian literary sources rather than Shakespeare, sends us into a Verona of warring factions (not families) and roiling passion. Vibrant French mezzo-soprano Marie Lenormand makes a company debut and a rare United States staged opera appearance in the trouser role of Romeo and Korean soprano Hae Ji Chang—an exciting young artist on the rise and a remarkable New England Conservatory Artist Diploma student—makes her Boston professional debut as Giulietta. Emerging Russian tenor Sergey Romanovsky makes his United States stage debut as Tebaldo.  Tickets & Information.
