About
Although we know the ending, we cannot help but be moved by this story of young love. So many musicians have been inspired by the “star-crossed lovers of Verona”, ranging from Bellini, and Berlioz to Bernstein. Librettists have also turned their attention to the couple’s romantic struggles expressed in one of the most sumptuous orchestral scores.
