This is the most beautiful Romeo et Juliette. Some parts are missing but it is so delightful with the setting and gorgeous and tragic couple, Angela and Alagna. It really makes me cry at the finale and I adore her Poison aria. Amazing voices.

[@roberthoward6590]

Oh my God, this is so beautiful! From the time Romeo and Juliet first meet in the garden, my heart was already broken in grief for the ending.

[@eldatricerri3333]

GREAT GIFT to hear any of Roberto Alagna's interpretations. He is such a treat. The role of Romeo has always been a perfect fit for his voice and acting. One is never tired of his voice.

@@emmalao6548 I don't quite understand the meaning of your comment. In the film the music score was somewhat "tailor made" for movie purposes, but the singing was superb.

[@christinec.6685]

Locations are gorgeous! Nice to hear their "young" voices.

[@TanyaGryaznova1313]

No one else will play like that, and will not transfer such a charge of energy. No one.....

Awesome Shakespeare Valentine story!😊💕👍

O soprana și un tenor faimosi talentați s-au căsătorit ceea ce rar se întâmplă . A perfect couple for Romeo and Julieta .

[@user-sb8im4ws4b]

Здесь Аланья и Анджела еще муж и жена по жизни..... Узнала, что расстались. Расстроена. Красивые места! Хорошо поют. А Гуно спасибо за музыку и за такую концовку-они хоть попрощались!))

Bravo Ángela y Alagna por su magnífica interpretación y realismo en sus personajes. Inigualable el escenario escogido tan acorde con el tiempo. Ha sido un verdadero deleite poder disfrutar de éste video al completo. Gracias
You Tube por éste acierto y enhorabuena.

Timeless production. Gounod had in mind Roberto and Angela when he was creating his Romeo and Juliete

[@Dylonely42]

Thank you very much, this video is useful.

[@ErgoPhizmiz]

His hair is quite the sculpture

[@23poule]

Thank you so much for this video i searched it so long

[@MrYorickJenkins]

For the first time like a flash I realise that Gounod was hinting in his opera at the rivalry between France and Germany, that fatal feud.

[@AindriasHirt]

'Soprano is good. She sings with legato; no one does that anymore...

Yes ! it's true

Filmé en décors naturels , c'est tres bien, encore faudrait -il savoir les choisir

[@pedrosergiolozar9860]

41:10 - A ópera omite a belíssima cena V do 3º ato da peça de Shakespeare (Já vais partir, Romeu? inda está longe o dia. /// Não é o rouxinol, é a cotovia, o arauto da manhã), que o dramaturgo alçou da simplicidade a uma das mais belas passagens do teatro mundial.

[@St3nG0lv]

two scenes are missing

[@AindriasHirt]

Yeah. The Mab aria in particular. I commented on it and the administrator removed my comment.

[@INOBT100]

@@AindriasHirt Well I don't blame them, it's a very long opera; but they might've exaggerated by squeezing the whole thing into less than an hour and a half

Julieta a ete le premier role pour Darcle . Adelina Pati ne puvais pas jouer . Quand Darcle se presente pour audition Gounod l'a accepte imediatement .

[@adrianacavallero2203]

Ambiente scuro. Camminano sempre. Troppi tagli e mancano i comprimari
Cantano bene ma hanno sprecato il loro tempo in un filmetto così banale, povero bruttocome regia
Peccato!

[@user-my7ch6jl6j]

Ромео и Джульетта повзрослели. Но все равно классные..

[@peterszigeti7476]

The voices are OK but the film is childish.

[@Ernie1]

All the cuts and changes make this disappointing.

[@austriaco4132]

beautiful singing but the worst acting since silent movies
