Two singers at the height of their powers--radiant soprano Nadine Sierra and tenor sensation Benjamin Bernheim--come together as the star-crossed lovers in Gounod's sumptuous Shakespeare adaptation, with Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin on the podium to conduct one of the repertoire's most romantic scores. Bartlett Sher's elegant staging also features baritone Will Liverman and tenor Frederick Ballentine as the archrivals Mercutio and Tybalt, mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey as the mischievous pageboy Stéphano, and bass-baritone Alfred Walker as Frère Laurent.

Linda Amazing to see The Met Opera on Screen Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Carol Excellent production, A privilege to experience this event for reasonable cost. Unfortunately the person next to us provided a running commentary during the performance. We should have changed seats!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/27/24 Full Review Cycling Lady Fantastic! The stars had wonderful chemistry. I love it when good singers can look the part and sing so well. I was in tears many times, even though I've seen this staging and the opera and play many times. Such joy and pathos. I loved it all ... except when the weather blipped out the lovely wedding scene. We missed almost the whole scene. One more reason to perhaps see it again! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/26/24 Full Review Caroline Wonderful: singing, acting, production (set design, action, costumes) were all terrific. Interviews before and between acts were informative. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Gretchen L H The entire opera, music, singing, costumes, staging - all were EXCELLENT Juliette was particularly effective - she could succeed on stage without singing a note. Added to that, her voice is fantastic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Ellen O One of the best presentations ever. The quality of the production, first-class singers and awesome orchestration all made this an unforgettable experience, despite the glitches in sending it to Maui...we definitely are in climate change.
