About
Following several adaptations based on Italian repertoire or Mozart’s works, we are turning to the world of French music this season with the story of the star-crossed lovers of Verona set to music by Charles Gounod. This is a fresh invitation to young people to come and sing and to develop a taste for opera. Everything has been organized to prepare you – educational resources, a singing workshop, and a read-through as an introduction to the performance.
