About

Sir Charles Mackerras teases the romantic beauty from Gounod’s score, which has been much admired and performed since its first performance at the Théâtre Lyrique, Paris, in 1867.

In this 1994 recording, the youthful Roberto Alagna as Roméo, and Leontina Vaduva as the unattainable Juliette, lead an excellent cast in a touching portrayal of this story of impossible love, based on the play by William Shakespeare.

Cast:
- Roméo: Roberto Alagna
- Juliette: Leontina Vaduva

Stage Director: Nicolas Joël

Recorded live at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London on 15th & 17th November 1994.

They are a Romeo and Juliet who look as if they were born to play their roles.’ - Financial Times

Alagna is the fascinating, never failing, special, real tenor thing - the heir apparent to the two. He delivers the goods.’ - The Guardian
