"What makes Hawaii Opera Theatre’s production of Charles Gounod’s “Romeo & Juliet” that opened Friday at the Blaisdell Concert Hall so exciting is that it celebrates the love story in all its glory while highlighting its message. That message was conveyed primarily through the production’s effective staging and striking visual design, which used anachronisms to convey timelessness."
