Bellini’s depiction of the world’s most famous star-crossed lovers was an immediate success in 1830. Join us as we look hundreds of years beyond its creation to an unknown planet with an unknown future. As environmental collapse approaches, experience how the story of these two households, alike in dignity, remain embroiled — not just for the protection of their family names, but for the survival of their planet.

Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
