Two singers at the height of their powers—radiant soprano Nadine Sierra and tenor sensation Benjamin Bernheim—come together as the star-crossed lovers in Gounod’s sumptuous Shakespeare adaptation, with Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin on the podium to conduct one of the repertoire’s most romantic scores. Bartlett Sher’s elegant staging also features baritone Will Liverman and tenor Frederick Ballentine as the archrivals Mercutio and Tybalt, mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey as the mischievous pageboy Stéphano, and bass-baritone Alfred Walker as Frère Laurent.

Juliette, 15, is the only child of an eminent judge and has had the best of education in the best of schools. Her father is in the limelight because he’s been chosen to preside over one of the most important trials of the past 10 years: the case of Réal Lamontagne, a notorious criminal accused of killing a child. Roméo, 17, is the son of the accused. Even though they come from diametrically opposed universes, Juliette and Roméo fall for each other.

Shakespeare’s lovers never looked and sounded as good as in this romantic film adaptation of Charles Gounod’s beloved opera “Roméo et Juliette”, starring one of classical music’s most popular and successful couples, Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu.

Hercegünk ekkor új törvényt hoz: ha még egyszer valaki gyilkol, halál fia. Van, azonban, akit egyáltalán nem érdekel a harc és a gyűlölet - ő Rómeó, a gazdag Montague egyetlen fia. Barátai, Mercutio és Benvolio elhívják egy bálba, mulatni. Az álarcosbál a Capulet-palotában lesz. Júlia, a család fejének egyetlen lánya eladósorba került, s apja ezen az estén akarja összeismertetni első kérőjével, a gazdag Páris-szal. Azonban semmi sem úgy történt, ahogyan tervezték: a bálban Júlia és Páris helyett, Júlia és Rómeó talál egymásra. Tybalt, Júlia unokatestvére őrjöng, ezért Rómeó, Mercutio és Benvolio menekülni kényszerül. Hősünk hazaféle ott hagyja barátait és beszökik Capuleték kertjébe, egyenesen Júlia erkélyéhez. Itt megvallják egymásnak szerelmüket, majd elhatározzák, hogy összeházasodnak...
