Romeo et Juliet                                      by Charles Gounod.

HD from the Metropolitan Opera.

In the hands of Charles Gounod, Shakespeare’s story about “Romeo et Juliette” is an extended love duet. The opera maintains most of the events of Shakespeare’s masterwork, but the foundation of its structure is a whopping four love duets between the two leads and two counter punctual ensembles smack in the middle of it all. Starring Vittorio Grigolo and Diane Damrau.
