The world’s greatest love story told in unforgettable duets, radiant melodies, and powerful choruses. While Gounod is best known for Faust, his setting of Shakespeare’s “most excellent tragedy” is a stunning showcase for its two young stars. With a stellar cast and a contemporary production from the Artistic Director of the Shakespeare Theatre Company, be sure to catch this new take on a classic.
