Ep. 120 Gounod's Roméo et Juliette
Manage episode 430017276 series 1549581
Of all the love stories ever told, none quite compare to the enduring power of Romeo and Juliet.
Over four centuries ago, English playwright William Shakespeare crafted a timeless story harnessing both the powers of profound love and deep hatred, and his tale of “star-crossed lovers” has become an inspiration to countless artists. Two and a half centuries later, French composer Charles Gounod and his librettists took Shakespeare’s play as a starting point, and crafted it into an exquisitely beautiful and heart-rending opera. Join us for an in-depth discussion of how this story plays out as a French grand opéra.
