On May 15th at 7:30 PM, the audience at Madlenianum Opera and Theatre will have the chance to witness a unique artistic event – the international premiere of the Russian opera 'Romeo and Juliet' by Charles Gounod, produced by the renowned Saint Petersburg Opera and directed by the famous Yuri Alexandrov. This visit is particularly significant as it marks the latest premiere by the Saint Petersburg theatre, coming to Belgrade only a few months after its world premiere and being performed in Serbia for the first time in its full stage form. The spectacle brings a passionate story of love, accompanied by recognizable French lyricism and a lavish musical interpretation, offering the Belgrade audience an opportunity to experience the freshness and universal power of Shakespeare's drama in a contemporary guise. Expect powerful arias, touching emotions, and an exceptional production in the beautiful setting of Madlenianum – a cultural institution known for its high artistic standards. Don't miss an evening where love and art triumph before the Belgrade audience.
