Roméo et Juliette
How can you heighten the drama of Shakespeare’s most famous play? By giving it the French grand opera treatment. Gounod’s adaptation of Romeo and Juliet brings this familiar tragedy to an epic crescendo. With an expansive score, gorgeous sets, and period costumes, see Shakespeare’s tale as you’ve never experienced it before.
Opera Silent Dinner
Join Orpheus KC and Wandering Vine at the Castle on Tuesday, January 30 for a unique and immersive dining event that takes you on a journey through the timeless tale of Romeo and Juliet.
