The Seattle Symphony presents Berlioz's Romeo and Juliet, a dramatic symphony that tells Shakespeare's story through orchestral music, chorus, and vocal soloists. This work is known for its inventive orchestration and its distinct approach to narrative, moving beyond a traditional opera format. It's a chance to hear a significant piece of the Romantic repertoire performed by a full orchestra and vocal ensemble. This performance takes place on Thursday, March 18, 2027, at Benaroya Hall's Taper Auditorium in Seattle.
