New Accentus Release: Vincenzo Bellini – I Capuleti E I Montecchi Opernhaus Zürich
Romeo and Juliet without the balcony scene? A woman who sings the role of Romeo? Vincenzo Bellini's opera I Capuleti e i Montecchi, which premiered in Venice at the Teatro La Fenice in 1830, is remarkable in many aspects – not only the piece in itself, but also Zurich’s production by Christof Loy, who transfers the 13th century plot from Verona into a Mafia milieu from the 1950s.

Equally impressive is Fabio Luisi’s musical interpretation with the fantastic Joyce DiDonato as Romeo. The critics of the Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) praised the production: “The Zurich Opera House helped the work to finally reach its full potential.”
