Schuster Center

This universal story has been adapted in countless plays and films, in popular culture and in dance, but perhaps no medium better expresses the love, longing and ultimate tragedy of this fated pair than Gounod’s supreme opera. Sweeping romanticism from beginning to untimely end!

Performed in French with English Surtitles above the stage.
