The poster presents a creative and modern reinterpretation for the Royal Opera House's rendition of "Romeo and Juliet." The use of a cassette tape is a nostalgic nod to the 90s era when mixtapes were a romantic gesture shared between lovers, paralleling the intimate and timeless love story of Romeo and Juliet. The ribbon of the tape is cleverly unfurled to spell out the names "Romeo and Juliet," symbolizing how their story is intertwined and 'recorded' through time. This design choice bridges the gap between the classic tale and contemporary audiences, suggesting that the opera will present the famous story through a modern lens, with music being the medium that carries the timeless emotions of the narrative.
