ROMEO AND JULIETTE

Program

CHARLES GOUNOD
Roméo et Juliette

3h with interval

Four love duets, a dizzying waltz, a fiery balcony scene: how can you not succumb to the music of Charles Gounod?
not succumb to the music of Charles Gounod? The public of the time was not mistaken, and his opera was a triumph from its creation in 1867, bringing the number of performances to one hundred in less than a year. With a couple as charismatic as Julie Fuchs and Jean-François Borras and the flamboyance of the Accentus Choir / Opéra de Rouen Normandie, there is no doubt that this new production, directed by Éric Ruf, will be just as enchanting.
