English Touring Opera returns to Sheffield with a tale of two households, both alike in dignity, and two lovers, doomed by the conflict between their families.

Bellini's The Capulets and the Montagues is a gritty re-working of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, where loyalty and love are put to the test amidst political violence, set to exquisite bel canto operatic music that brings the story’s tragedy to the fore.

Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
