Shakespeare's tragic character, Juliet Capulet, continues to captivate us four hundred years later. To this day, thousands of tourists from all over the world visit a crumbling balcony in Verona, Italy to share their deepest feelings in the form of letters to Juliet. This phenomenon of human connection and emotion fascinated British post-punk icon Elvis Costello, resulting in a studio album with the Brodsky Quartet in 1993. The genre-bending collaboration produced a unique song sequence for string quartet and voice that carries us on an intimate journey of hope, loss, and longing - all seen through the lens of love.This immersive experience includes a special prelude featuring guest artist mezzo-soprano Hannah Penn performing “Shakespeare Songs” by Howard Blake.
Performances are in English with English surtitles and will be seated as general admission. For patrons who are deaf or hard of hearing, each performance includes displayed live English captions.
