The epitome of romance! Join Austin Opera for this tantalizing production, featuring an ornate set, classical costumes and powerful vocal talents. We open this fateful classic with a masked ball, where Romeo is first taken with Juliet’s beauty. Their love is further affirmed when Romeo famously declares his devotion to Juliet outside her balcony.

But, as the tale goes,  Romeo and Juliet’s quarreling families prevent their love from blossoming. Subsequently, the two star-crossed lovers attempt to defy their feuding families but fail as Romeo takes his life before his seemingly dead beloved only to see her awaken. Distraught, Juliet elects to dramatically join her love in death.

KMFA has tickets to give away to our listeners to see this classic Shakespeare story live at the Long Center on January 29 and February 1, 2015. 

If you don't win, this time remember that you can hear the opera live on KMFA on February 1 as part of our Listen Local series.
