This beautiful production of Romeo and Juliette by Charles Gounod was recorded during the Salzburger Festspiele, starring two of the greatest voices of the moment: Nino Machaidze and Rolando Villazón. An intense love story based on the homonyms work by William Shakespeare, in it we see how the internal struggle between the Capulet and the Montagues makes the paradigmatic romantic love of the leading couple impossible due to the conditions of the society in which they have had to live. The musical direction is in the hands of Yannick Nézet-Séguin, recently appointed the new musical director of the Metropolitan Opera House in New York.
