"Inspired by a professor in Verona who took it upon himself to answer correspondence sent to the fictional character of Juliet Capulet, The Juliet Letters by Elvis Costello is a song cycle in which each of the songs is a letter: love letters, begging letters, suicide notes, Dear John letters, breakup letters, and even junk mail.
The entire program is a tribute to not only Costello’s masterwork, but the idea of 'classical crossover' and the current synthesis of rock, jazz, pop, and world musics into the classical tradition."
