From 19 Oct to 4 Nov: Giulietta e Romeo (Romeo and Juliet)
Shakespeare’s love story Rome and Juliet is set in Italy and full of Italian references. He created a masterpiece that is timeless and still manages to enthral audiences. The cast and crew of 400 people – including choreographers, singers, corps de ballet, instrumentalists, set designers – has brought a new and exciting version of Romeo and Juliet to the stage. The combined talents of Riccardo Cocciante and Pasquale Panella wrote, respectively, music and words. This latest rendition of the harrowing story of the Veronese lovers is sharp, intense and extraordinary in all its facets – from the light to the costumes – and is a brilliant work of art in its own right. www
