A rose by another name: Juliet and Romeo

Marginalia irreverently combine Shakespeare’s timeless words with Bellini’s intoxicating melodies in a newly devised and fully staged production for two singers and an actor, bringing you star-crossed lovers as never before.

Romeo and Love have been a pretty dysfunctional team for a long time. Rosaline… that didn’t go so well. Maybe Juliet will finally be the one, if Love can exercise some self-control and rein in her penchant for chaos. But desire and egotism are dangerous bedfellows: Juliet struggles desperately amid powerful currents of coercion and manipulation. A noble passion to heal age-old rifts? Perhaps not.

For newer and younger audiences, as well as seasoned opera-goers. Perfect curriculum extension for gifted English, Music and Drama pupils.

Running time - 70 minutes. Performed in English and Italian with English surtitles.
