Roméo et Juliette - Premiere
Drame lyrique in five acts
Libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré
"It was the nightingale and not the lark." Perhaps the most famous sentence from perhaps the most famous love story of all time also found its way into Charles Gounod's "Romeo and Juliet" opera, which first enchanted the audience in 1867 at the Paris World Exhibition. All of France had succumbed to Shakespeare's enthusiasm in the 19th century, and it was only a matter of time before the successful duo Gounod and Barbier & Carré took on one of his plays. They should succeed in what is definitely the most sensual adaptation of the story with four great love duets alone - no small merit in view of the numerous, mainly cinematic versions of the material, whose aesthetics vary from romantic to hypermodern. The work of director Marie-Eve Signeyrole is also influenced by film, since she has been behind the camera herself since the beginning of her career. And she also enriches her opera productions with live video, thereby staging great emotions without having to make grand gestures.
In French with German and English surtitles
Introduction to the work 30 minutes before the start of the performance
