Shakespeare's tragedy of two young lovers is depicted in Gounod's opera, not seen at the Royal Opera House in over a decade.

Shakespeare's tragedy of doomed young love receives a wonderful interpretation in Gounod's opera, combining all of the drama of the well-known story and the emotional and stirring music typical of the composer of Faust. Nicolas Jo?s production is revived with a fantastic cast conducted by French specialist Daniel Oren, and that has Piotr Beczala and Nino Machaidze/Mar?Alejandres as the star-crossed lovers.

The opera is especially famous for its love duets and for such sparkling numbers as Juliette's Act I waltz song, but the whole score is full of passion, melody and excitement. With the many ensembles, choruses and characters it is a wonderful showcase for the talents of the Royal Opera Chorus and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House.

Sung in French with English surtitles.
