Please join us for an exploration of 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 event will illuminate the various ways in which the play has been reinterpreted in the performing, visual, and musical arts for centuries.  This multifaceted, multi-media conversation anticipates OPERA San Antonio’s performances of Gonoud’s Romeo and Juliet, at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts on March 30 and April 1.  A reception follows the lecture and performances.
