Vincenzo Bellini Luciano Pavarotti: I Capuleti E I Montecchi 2 CD Set MINT 1966 Discs have not been tested but visually in very good plus to mint condition with hardly any imperfections. I Capuleti e i Montecchi (The Capulets and the Montagues) is an Italian opera (Tragedia lirica) in two acts by Vincenzo Bellini. The libretto by Felice Romani was a reworking of the story of Romeo and Juliet for an opera by Nicola Vaccai called Giulietta e Romeo and based on the play of the same name by Luigi Scevola written in 1818, thus an Italian source rather than taken directly from William Shakespeare. Vincenzo Bellini was the supreme melodist of the great bel canto triumvirate that also included Gioacchino Rossini and Gaetano Donizetti. opera, classical, pavarotti, romeo, juliet, shakespeare
