Shakespeare is a more overt presence in I Capuletti e i Montecchi, the tale of the star-crossed lovers Romeo and Guilietta, which was first staged in Venice in 1830 by composer Vincenzo Bellini and librettist Felice Romani. The BardвЂ™s presence will be felt in many of the texts and interpretations on offer, such as Alfredo Catalani Edmea, whose source is Alexandre Dumas but whose themes go back to Stratford-on-Avon. This yearвЂ™s theme is Shakespeare in the Heart. This year, she and a huge cast of performers, crew and opera buffs are looking forward to the festivalвЂ™s return to live action. The festivalвЂ™s new artistic director, Rosetta Cucchi, took up her role just as the pandemic hit, so found herself directing a very different event in 2020.
