Opera RATING: NR RUNNING TIME: 3:04 RELEASE DATE: February 4, 2017 STARRING: Diana Damrau, Virgine Verrez, Vittorio Grigolo DIRECTOR: Gianandrea Noseda PRODUCER(S): Bartlett Sher WRITER(S): Charles Gounod MOVIE SYNOPSIS: Perhaps the most enduringly successful of the many operatic settings of the world’s consummate love story, Roméo et Juliette is an excellent example of French Romanticism, a tradition that values subtlety, sensuality, and graceful vocal delivery over showy effects. In the opera there is a slight shift of focus away from the word games of the original play and a greater focus on the two lovers, who are given four irresistible duets, including a brief final reunion in the tomb scene that does not appear in the play.
