America, I Feel Pretty, Tonight, Maria, Somewhere. The popular evergreens of West Side Story can now be experienced at the Opera House. Bernstein’s musical classic is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that deserves revisiting again and again and again …
 

Shakespeare’s tragic love story about Romeo and Juliet inspired Leonard Bernstein and lyricist Stephen Sondheim to create the story of the two lovebirds, Tony and Maria, involving two rival street gangs in 1950s New York.

West Side Story set to music by Bernstein is a sure crowd-pleaser. The iconic musical ingeniously fuses symphonic sound with the jazzy and Latin American rhythms the composer experienced in clubs and on the streets of his hometown, New York.
