Juan Rivera (Flutist) joins the Hawkmore Lyric Opera for Vincenzo Bellini’s production of “I Cauleti ei Montecchi.

This March, join us at Hawkmore Lyric Opera for our debut production, Vincenzo Bellini’s hypnotic masterwork, “I Capuleti e i Montecchi.” A stunningly talented ensemble brings new life to this bel canto classic–a stark adaptation of the Romeo and Juliet saga–in an all-new, stripped down-staging, presented with orchestral accompaniment at an intimate, blackbox-style venue. Don’t miss this enterprise in art: catch any of our six performances, at the Hudson Backstage Theater, in Hollywood. Sung in Italian, with projected English translation.

6 Dates: March 16 – 25

Written & Directed by Josh Ravetch
Lyrics by Alan & Marilyn Bergman
Music by Bill Cantos & Mari Falcone, Dave Grusin, Marvin Hamlisch, Michel Legrand and Johnny Mandel 
Featuring Tyne Daly, Robert Forster & Scott Kradolfer

“Daly brings to the role her sweet and sour realism, slingshot comic timing and emotional heft… her stage presence alone is worth the price of admission.” – Los Angeles Times
“Tyne Daly is a comic force! The one-liners come fast. So do the sobs.” – The Hollywood Reporter
“This piece not only tugs at your heartstrings but will make you cherish every moment of living.” – BroadwayWorld.com
“A complete joy to watch! Ravetch skillfully directs the brilliant Tyne Daly.” – BroadwayWorld.com
“Ravetch’s writing is full of insights about life as it is lived, past and present… but not without being terribly, terribly funny.” – BroadwayWorld.com
“Forster as Franklin is so natural and low key in his approach and nails Franklin’s demeanor to a tee.” – BroadwayWorld.com
“Kradolfer as Mason brings vulnerability and support to his mother’s dilemma.” – BroadwayWorld.com

In this world premiere with songs written by legendary lyricists Alan and Marilyn Bergman, Tyne Daly stars as a woman not quite ready to let go of the life she’s loved and the love of her life.
