If I taught English lit in high school, I would use this production as an example of the breadth of scope available to writers. Shakespeares best story turned into a costume romance with music. It doesn't hurt that both stars are easy to look at, and that the scenery is beautiful. That they cut out some very beautiful parts (as well as some boring ones, ie dance music for 20 minutes) is a shame. That they get it done in just over an hour, keeping the bones of the story and the opera intact makes ... Read More

After seeing this DVD, it does make me wonder if it truly makes sense to present an opera in a cinematic context with facial close-ups, kinetic cameras and actual locations. The preservation of a basically theatrical experience is one thing, but what director Barbara Willis Sweete does here is something else altogether, admirable and even enthralling in some respects but somehow out-of-kilter in others. Filming Gounod's "Roméo et Juliette" is a smart marketing decision given the immediate familiarity ... Read More

My introduction to Roberto Alagna was through the Covent Garden vhs version of this opera. I was totally won over by Roberto, who is one of the most convincing actors in the opera world today. His portrayal of Romeo is second to none. I was very excited when I found out that he and his wife had filmed a new version of Romeo et Juliette. I was not disappointed in the least.
This is the most beautiful film adaptation of an opera that I have ever seen. Yes, they cut a three hour opera down to a ... Read More

I was appalled by this video. If the intent was to attract younger audiences (read: viewers with ADD)to opera, viewers would be surprised to learn that it's actually a five-act opera that runs for close to three hours. This is a slash and burn affair benefitting the Alagnas; the supporting cast has little to do except look Nordically detached and sing a few lines here and there.
There's a good case to be made for limning this opera into a chamber piece but the setting doesn't do it any favors. ... Read More

I'm really surprised that, in 2003, is still possible to see films like this: Gounod's magnificent opera here is cut by a butcher (running time 73 minutes, against the three hours of any integral recording!!!) who is trying to restore the 40s and 50s mode for b movie based on opera.
It's really a shame, since we have the most beautiful Romeo and Juliet of the century, Alagna and Gheourghiu, giving a marvellous and poignant musical and theatrical superb performance, but what a frame! the set (supposed ... Read More
