Metropolitan Opera: "Roméo et Juliette," Thrilling, Rapturous and Heartbreaking

Join us for the Met Opera's "Roméo et Juliette," Charles Gounod's classic adaptation of Shakespeare's immortal love story about two star-crossed young lovers caught up in a longtime, bitter feud between their families, tragically leadIing to their deaths. Set in 18th century Verona, it features radiant soprano Nadine Sierra, a South Florida native, and tenor sensation Benjamin Bernheim in the title roles. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the highly romantic score.

Sung in French with English subtitles, this dazzling 2024 performance is part of the Met's summer encore series of fan favorites from recent years. During intermission the audience can get a behind-the-scenes look with exclusive backstage access and interviews. Tickets are just $15. They're available at the box office now or on the day of the show.

This is a multi-group Meetup. Ours is sponsored by Walls R Us Painting.

SPECIAL NOTE OF LOCAL INTEREST - "Juliette" Nadine Sierra is a 2006 graduate of Dreyfoos School of the Arts in West Palm Beach who's gone on to become an international superstar, headlining shows with the Met and other top opera houses around the world.

We've been to many shows at Dreyfoos, one of the country's premier arts magnet high schools, and they've all been great. Whether it's for music, dance or theater, we hope you'll join us for some in the coming year. The school is one block from Kravis Center, tickets are inexpensive and the auditorium is first-class.
