The opera "I Capuleti e I Montecchi" is one of the most popular in the repertoire of musical theaters. Bellini follows tragedy
Shakespeare interpreted love and enmity as Rock, an element beyond man`s control. With "I Cpauleti e I Montecchi" Bellini entered his artistic maturity, demonstrating that he had found his true personal style with melodies of exquisite beauty and dramatic expressiveness.
Two households, both alike in dignity
(In fair Verona, where we lay our scene),
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
The tragic story of the two star-crossed lovers condemned to die by the rivalry of their two families is recreated in Bellini`s opera. It gives us a plot of overwhelming topicality.
Opera in two acts is performed in the Italian language. The length is two hours with the interval.
