A two-act Italian opera based on Luigi Scevola’s tragedy and ultimately Luigi Da Porto’s novella of the Romeo and Juliet story.
In thirteenth-century Verona, Giulietta is betrothed to Tebaldo but loves Romeo, leader of the rival Montecchi. Romeo offers peace and asks Capellio for Giulietta’s hand, but the family rejects him. Giulietta’s doctor, Lorenzo, gives her a potion that makes her appear dead so she can escape with Romeo. Romeo, unaware of the plan, finds her in the tomb and takes poison. Giulietta awakens too late, and the lovers die together.
