	Toronto Symphony Shines in Berlioz’s Romeo et Juliette
		Romeo and Juliet, perhaps the most well-known couple in classical music, are most popularly known as the inspiraton for an overture by Tchaikovsky and a ballet by Prokofiev.
		Romeo and Juliette ressembles an Oratorio in form: soloists and the choir narrate the story.
		Rather than focusing on the love story between Romeo and Juliet, as in the case of Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev’s works, Berlioz places more emphasis on the outcome of the tragedy- the truce between the two warring families, the Capulets and the Montagues.

	Boston.com / A&E / Music / BSO lifts 'Romeo et Juliette'with passionate playing
		It was revelatory to hear Berlioz's dramatic symphony ''Romeo et Juliette" just two weeks after Elliott Carter's ''Symphonia," and not just because Carter said he wanted the third movement of his piece to be a contemporary response to Berlioz's ''Queen Mab" Scherzo.
		The second movement, ''Romeo Alone," opens with something very close to a 12-tone row, and the work is full of astounding orchestral effects (some violins trilling, others sustaining the same pitch; a solemn quartet of bassoons; hunting horns).
		The love scene between Romeo and Juliet and their love/death are enacted by the orchestra.

		Based on "Romeo and Juliet," the action has been pared down to focus on the love and tragic death of the titular characters, the young scions of warring families the Capulets and the Montagues.
		As punishment, Romeo is sent into exile and Juliette is forced into a more suitable marriage to Count Paris -- but not before she has obtained a secret potion from Friar Laurence that will simulate death while Romeo is spirited back from exile.
		Juliette's trilling waltz song, "Je Veux vivre," which Netrebko delivers flawlessly, is an early indication that this young soprano has beauty, youth and acting ability to match her glorious voice.

		Tenor Roberto Alagna is all youthful ardor and aching romance as Romeo, while soprano Leontina Vaduva plays Juliet as a lover frightfully aware of the doom the pair is moving toward.
		Romeo is close to Faust insofar as its lyrically melodic score is concerned and when well sung and staged, is a real treat to the eyes and ears.
		As Juliette, Leontina Vaduva is a little tough to swallow at first, but she gets easier to handle as the opera progresses.

		The earliest written version of the story of the ill-fated lovers Romeo and Juliet, children of the rival Montague (Montecchi) and Capulet (Capelletti or Capuleti) families in 13th-century Verona, occurs in the Novellino (1476) of Masuccio Salernitano.
		The ancient Cappuchin church outside the town walls where the marriage of Romeo and Juliet took place is also identified, and it is there that the tomb of Juliet is located.
		Rubbing a "golden" statue of Juliet, said to have been erected by Romeo's father, Lord Montague, is believed to bring good luck, and there is even an address to which letters for Juliet can be sent which will elicit a reply.

		Though not as familiar as "Faust", Gounod's "Romeo et Juliette" is almost as dramatic, passionate and melodic, and this 2 CD set has an ideal cast.
		Domingo is a bit dark-voiced for the role of young Romeo but he makes up for it in the sheer beauty of his phrasing and in his passionate portrayal.

		Thus, when Juliet awakens, Romeo is already dead, and she then kills herself.
		In Gounod's interpretation, Romeo drinks the poison and as he dies, Juliet awakens, and they still are able to sing their dying words of everlasting love to each other.
		I found this las scene really touching, when Romeo finally dies and Juliet stabs herself, desiring one last kiss from him which never comes.

		The stereo that lives on this disc is primitive to be sure, with noticeable tape hiss and some weird resonances from the timpani, but for character, panache, and sheer abandon the interpretation is hard to beat.

		Juliette is usally sung by a coloratura or a light lyric soprano, but Ghoerghiu's voice is so exciting in this version, and she fully develops the character.
		That is absolutely true, largely because the rôle of Juliette was re-written by Gounod to make her into a chirpy character.
		This recording of "Romeo et Juliette" is certainly not bad, but equally certainly, it is not terribly good.

		Berlioz’s ‘dramatic symphony’ Roméo et Juliette is regarded by many as his finest work; it is certainly among the most original.
		It is played less often than his earlier symphonies, because it requires solo voices and chorus; yet at its heart is some of the most inspired orchestral music of the nineteenth century.

		Quite often the young lovers' emotional highs are expressed by numerous lifts and turns.) Defining mood of the ballet is rather dark and grim, and 'death' is never far away — a couple of episodes are inserted with effect as if premonition to the tragic consequences.
		Men, particularly Romeo should tackle probably the most challenging and demanding choreography ever created for the role.
		Though a bit smaller scale a dancer, he should be commended for having fulfilled the difficult task of stepping in injured Manuel Legris's place and partnered Maurin.

	Roméo et Juliette: Foreword and Observations
		It has never been performed on any stage since Shakespeare's time, but it is too beautiful, too musical, and it concludes a work of this nature too well for the composer to dream of treating it differently.
		If, in the famous garden and cemetery scenes, the dialogue of the two lovers, Juliet's asides, and Romeo's passionate outbursts are not sung, if the duets of love and despair are given to the orchestra, the reasons for this are numerous and easy to understand.
		First, and this reason alone would be sufficient, it is a symphony and not an opera.

	Guardian \| Romeo et Juliette
		When the Salzburg festival announced that it had persuaded the starry husband-and-wife team of Angela Gheorghiu and Roberto Alagna to sing favourite roles as hero and heroine in Gounod's Romeo et Juliette, there were fears that in the grand setting of the Grosses Festspielhaus they would fail to live up to their reputation.
		The opera was a success, with Gheorghiu dominating the occasion musically and artistically from her opening coloratura waltz-song onwards.
		Yet here they matched and outshone that great resident orchestra, which on the next day failed to respond in anything like the same way to this same conductor in Mozart's Die Zauberflöte.

		It was one of those dream happenstances: a night at the opera wondrously sung by all, conducted and directed with exactly the right spirit, staged with high imagination.
		In sight and in sound, in fact, the two of them made pretty much a dream team: Villazon with his appealing agility, up and down ladders, onto balconies and into hearts; Netrebko with her tones of pure silver turning her Waltz Song, the opera's one famous tune, into the essence of moonbeam.
		Behind them was an assembled cast also of memorable quality: Marc Barrard's Mercutio to sing of mischievous Queen Mab; Suzanna Guzman with her few crusty lines as Juliette's Nurse; super-cute Anna-Maria Panzarella for Stephano's one song (Balthasar in Shakespeare).
