Teatro Colón offers discounted tickets for young people to opera performance

The Teatro Colón is making opera more accessible to younger audiences with a special "SUB30" performance of Vincenzo Bellini's "I Capuleti e i Montecchi" on Tuesday, June 30. This initiative offers tickets at a significantly reduced price of $30,000 for all seating areas, with standing room tickets available for $15,000.

The opera, a two-act lyrical tragedy with a libretto by Felice Romani, is part of the theater's 2026 lyrical season. It draws from the classic tale of feuding families in 13th-century Verona, the Capuleti and Montecchi, and the tragic love story that unfolds between their children, Romeo and Giulietta. Unlike Shakespeare's version, Bellini's opera focuses on Romani's libretto.

The production features musical direction by Evelino Pidò and stage direction by Pablo Maritano, with performances by the Orquesta Estable del Teatro Colón and the Coro Estable del Teatro Colón. The estimated total duration of the opera is 160 minutes.

Tickets for the "SUB30" function are currently available through the Teatro Colón's official website and at the theater's box office. For other performances of "I Capuleti e i Montecchi" during the season, ticket prices range from $17,000 to $294,000, depending on the seating location and availability.
