For the past month, our team has been busy in the rehearsal room bringing a season of Shakespeare-inspired productions to life! Join us for a peek inside, along with some behind-the-scenes insights from the creative team.

The Capulets and the Montagues

In our new production of Bellini's The Capulets and the Montagues, Shakespeare's most iconic family rivalry meets Martin Scorsese. Set in the late 1960s in a Little Italy diner, this gritty production follows two young lovers as they navigate a world ruled by political violence.

Directed by Eloise Lally, the cast has been exploring a dramatic cast of characters. Giulietta, the daughter of a mafia boss, is in love with Romeo, the leader of the rival Montague family. Weapons will be drawn as our lovers find out if they have the courage to break the cycle of violence around them.

What Dreams May Come

What Dreams May Come is a new studio piece featuring music inspired by and adapted from Shakespeare’s plays and poetry. We meet a man at the end of his life, as he lays in a hospital bed reflecting on moments throughout his life. Spanning 300 years' worth of music and featuring custom puppetry, this piece is a beautiful reflection on the joys and sorrows of a long life.

In rehearsals, four singers (Soprano, Mezzo, Tenor, Bass) have been bringing this intimate piece to life under the direction of Valentina Ceschi. In performance, the singers will be joined on-stage by a chamber quartet of musicians (piano, flute, cello, violin).
