THE WORLD'S FINEST OPERA
BALLET, THEATRE AND MUSIC
Gounod: Romeo et Juliette
Roberto Alagna (Romeo); Leontina Vaduva (Juliette)
Sir Charles Mackerras teases the romantic beauty from Gounod’s score, which has been much admired and performed since its first performance, at the Théâtre Lyrique, Paris, in 1867. In this 1994 recording, the youthful Roberto Alagna as Roméo, and Leontina Vaduva as the unattainable Juliette, lead an excellent cast in a touching portrayal of this story of impossible love, based on the play by William Shakespeare.
