MetOpera: Roméo et Juliette

Charles Gounod's Roméo et Juliette, performed as part of the Metropolitan Opera's 2016-2017 season captured live in HD on the New York stage. Conducted by Gianandrea Noseda.

"When Diana Damrau and Vittorio Grigolo starred opposite each other in Manon at the Met in 2015, the New York Times said, “the temperature rises nearly to boiling every time Damrau and Grigolo are on stage together.” Now they’re back as opera’s classic lovers, in Gounod’s lush Shakespeare adaptation. The production, by director Bartlett Sher, has already won acclaim for its vivid 18th-century milieu and stunning costumes during runs at Salzburg and La Scala." (MetOpera)
