Juliet Summer Fest – Shakespeare Summer Festival
The Shakespearean summer that leaves the theatre and crosses Verona, city of Romeo and Juliet
About Juliet Summer Fest
Romeo and Juliet's Summer in Verona
Juliet Summer Fest is the summer Shakespearean festival organized by Casa Shakespeare in Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet. The event takes theatre outside conventional venues, conquering the historic center and the city's walls, where young actors perform the most famous scenes from the Shakespearean tragedy.
Widespread Theatre Among the City's Stones
The festival accompanies the public through the symbolic places of Verona with live and streaming performances. Initiatives include travelling performances involving students from Veronese schools and young people from the Casa Shakespeare company, and theatrical walks "Walking with Romeo and Juliet", with access to the Shakespeare Interactive Museum.
Young Protagonists and New Generations
The heart of the project is the involvement of new generations: students and young actors, selected through casting, become protagonists of the scenes from Romeo and Juliet, in a journey that combines training, theatre, and the enhancement of the city's heritage.
In Shakespeare's Footsteps in Verona
Part of the broader annual project "Shakespeare 2026" promoted with the Municipality of Verona, Juliet Summer Fest helps make the Scaliger city a reference point for Shakespearean culture, intertwining theatre, tourism, and identity in the name of the most famous love story of all time.
