Opera Cheat Sheet: I Capuleti e i Montecchi

In this week’s Opera Cheat Sheet, Classical 91.7’s program director St.John Flynn and opera expert Eric Skelly discuss Bellini’s rarely-performed I Capuleti e i Montecchi, a non-Shakespearian treatment of the story of Romeo and Juliet and the devastating effect their families’ feud has on their young lives.  You can hear the San Francisco Opera production of I Capuleti e i Montecchi Saturday at noon on Classical 91.7 and online at classical917.org.
