Virginia Opera's 'Romeo and Juliet' pitches a well-timed, lovely production

The Virginia Opera brought Charles Gounod's "Romeo and Juliet" to the George Mason University's Center for the Arts this past weekend just in time for Valentine's Day, and if the "eternal" in the Valentine promise of eternal love lasts for only one night in Gounod's (and Shakespeare's) drama, the production made sure that it was a steamy, intense night indeed.
