『ロメオとジュリエット』シャルル・グノー
Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette
Every bit as heartbreaking and kinetic as the Shakespearean original, Gounod’s ravishing opera features the most famous moments of the play dressed up in unforgettable musical finery. The star-crossed lovers at the center are assigned no fewer than four duets; Romeo’s swashbuckling friend Mercutio gets a first-act showstopper about Queen Mab; and Juliet’s vivacious entrance aria is a waltz so irresistible, anyone would be compelled to scale a balcony for her.
Roberto Alagna and Anna Netrebko star in Gounod’s passionate operatic take on Shakespeare’s classic tragedy. Guy Joosten’s production also features Isabel Leonard, Nathan Gunn, and Robert Lloyd.
