Opera Italia in LA
Date: Oct 18
Opera Italia Los Angeles is opening their season with Bellini’s Romeo & Juliet – I Capuleti e i Montecchi on October 18, 19, and 26, 2025!
Information & Tickets
Bellini’s depiction of the story portrays the Capuleti and Montecchi as rival political factions (Guelph and Ghibelline respectively), distinct from the Shakespearean version. Capellio is the father of Giulietta (Juliet) and the leader of the Capuleti. Giulietta is betrothed to Tebaldo (Tybalt), however she has already met and fallen in love with Romeo, leader of the Montecchi (Montagues). This is a secret to all but Lorenzo (Lawrence), her doctor and confidant. Complicating matters, Romeo has inadvertently killed the son of Capellio (Giulietta’s brother) in battle.
