Roméo et Juliette Gounod

ABOUT
The five-act opera, Roméo et Juliette is a French romantic opera masterpiece by Charles-François Gounod. The libretto was adapted by Jules Barbier and Michele Carra in 1867 from Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, and debuted at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris on April 27th of the same year, after which, its popularity had spread across the globe, becoming one of Gounod's most famous operatic works. The libretto recreates the soul of Shakespeare's renowned drama, while Gounod’s music is a wonderful depiction of the two protagonists’ tragic romance. Many of the opera’s characters have exquisite arias, and the two lovers’ many duets are exceedingly beautiful and worthy of the classic.
