Romeo et Juliette

Gounod's last opera closely follows Shakespeare's story. Netrebko and Alagna both shine here, Alagna in the role of Romeo which was one of his earliest successes nearly 15 years earlier. Music highights include the 2nd Act 'Balcony scene,' the 4th Act wedding night, Juliet's "Poison Aria" and of couse the scene in the Capulets' tomb. Have extra kleenex on hand for the final moments.
