Join us for a night at the opera! Whether you've been to the opera many times or have never experienced it before, come and enjoy an evening of beautiful music, drama and romance with one of the greatest love stories of all time: Charles Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette, at the Opéra Bastille in Paris.
But why have we chosen this particular opera? Because we're celebrating not one, but TWO New Zealand opera singers in the leading roles! Enjoy the powerhouse duo of tenor Pene Pati, best known as a former member of the acclaimed vocal trio Sol3 Mio, as Romeo, alongside soprano Amina Edris as Juliet. A wonderful opportunity to celebrate New Zealand talent on one of Paris's great opera stages!
Roméo et Juliette tells the tragic story of two young lovers from rival families, the Montagues and the Capulets, in the city of Verona. From the moment they meet, Romeo and Juliet fall deeply in love, but their passion is confronted by the deep-rooted hatred between their families. Amid forbidden love, duels, separations and misunderstandings, their fate seems inevitably destined for tragedy.
Composed by Charles Gounod and first performed in 1867, this opera features beautiful, passionate music, including four stunning love duets and a famous waltz. The production is directed by Thomas Jolly, who brings a fresh perspective to this timeless story, notably incorporating the threat of the plague.
The opera will be performed in French and will last 3 hours and 15 minutes, including one interval.
Whether you're an opera aficionado or have never been before, a night at the Opéra Bastille is a must-do in Paris!
For those who wish, we will head afterwards for a drink at the Black Sheep Society, just around the corner.
Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. We need to sell at least 10 tickets for this event to go ahead; otherwise, you will receive a refund.
