Join OSA for an evening of art and opera!
OPERA San Antonio is pleased to present Romeo and Juliet: Valentine’s Revisited - a lecture and performance in partnership with the McNay Art Museum.
On February 16th we will explore the art and music inspired by Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet. Featuring Dr. Kevin Salfen, Dr. Annie Labatt, and a special roster of performers from OPERA San Antonio. This free event will illuminate the various ways in which the play has been reinterpreted in the performing, visual, and musical art for centuries. This multifaceted, multi-media conversation anticipates OSA’s performances of Gounod’s Romeo and Juliet at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts on March 30th and April 1st.
Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. with light refreshments before the presentation. The lecture and performances will be held from 6:30-7:30 p.m. After the lecture has concluded, we will host a reception where guests are encouraged to purchase tickets to Romeo and Juliet, mingle with the performers, and speak with the lecturers from 7:30-8:30 p.m.
There is no cost to attend the lecture and the seating is general admission.
