I Capuleti e i Montecchi

The opera departs from Shakespearean romanticism and embraces the Italian tradition of factional conflict, where hatred is a destiny, not a circumstance. In this tense environment, the secret love between Giulietta and Romeo becomes a force that defies social norms. For those around them, loving each other is almost an offense, a fracture in the established order. Love is sacred because it is free and perceived as sacrilegious because it calls into question the values ​​that uphold family honor.

The ending, marked by the suicide of the two young lovers, takes on a ritualistic meaning: a final act of fidelity that the world has failed to understand. Death thus becomes a space of definitive union, where life has denied them the possibility of loving each other freely.
