Roméo et Juliette Gounod

Romeo ja Julia“ on 19. sajandi prantsuse ooperi üks hinnatumaid pärle. Ooperi üheks tuntumaks muusikanumbriks on „Je veux vivre“ ehk „Julia valss“. Lavastaja Stephen Barlow keskendub tuntud armastusloos kahe vaenutseva vastaspoole saatusele, sobitades selle tänapäevasesse Pariisi ühiskonda. Läbi Capulettide ja Montecchide mõttetu ja viljatu vaenu jääb kõlama armastuse igikestev sõnum.

Charles Gounod's splendid version of Shakespeare’s tragic story is graceful, dramatic, and supremely melodic. It is famous for its deeply emotional love duets, its beautiful orchestral colours and its heart-stirring choruses. This work is one of the huge hits of 19th century French opera. “Je veux vivre” or “Juliet’s Waltz” is one of the famous arias in this operatic masterpiece.

In this famous love story, stage director Stephen Barlow focuses on the fate of two feuding families, integrating it into contemporary Paris society. Through the futile feud of Capuleti and Montecchi families, the the love of two young people is the ray of light spreading the message of everlasting love.
