The Pick Up Truck Opera: Romeo and Juliet

Aug 11, 2023, 7:00 pm | $30 | Early Frost Farm

Event Navigation

In this modern version of Bellini’s opera, Juliet and Romeo are online strivers in a time of global strife. She’s lifting up others through her social media career — teaching survival skills, sharing recipes, and do-it-yourself crafts. Romeo is documenting his van-life travels, inspiring millions to live life to the fullest, even in the darkest times. These two social media sensations are tired of depending on clicks and likes to survive. So they’re teaming up for a cross-country elopement and honeymoon. But larger forces plan to disrupt their destiny.

This adaptation of the beloved tragedy promises laughter, gorgeous bel canto melodies, and calamitous romance. This timeless tale of star-crossed lovers careening toward doom is tragically hopeful and hopefully tragic. Continuing Mixed Preciptiation’s tradition of musical ingenuity, this production also features the music of Fleetwood Mac, the Fugees, and the Pixies — star-crossed bands whose passionate romance and feuds play out in their music.
