I Capuleti e i Montecchi (The Capulets and the Montagues)

I Capuleti e i Montecchi (The Capulets and the Montagues) is Bellini's rendition of that age old tale of "star-cross'd lovers", Romeo and Juliet. While families at war swear eternal hatred, two young hearts are inextricably bound in love. The result is tragedy at its most poignant. With soaring melodies, glorious harmonies, and a timeless theme, I Capuleti e i Montecchi is one of Bellini's true masterpieces.
