Roméo et Juliette - Va, repose en paix - Rolando Villazon

[joelle1475]

splendide et telement émouvant.

[sdvuhlap]

Just beautiful!

[operafan65]

Nicely sung. Terribly staged, as is common. Someday a director of this opera will actually read the play and in this part of the scene focus Romeo on the balcony where Juliet has just left- or better, is still leaving while focused on him. Romeo certainly doesn't turn his back to Juliette and sing into space. Nor does he lay on the ground. He must escape over that wall he previously o'er-perched on love's light wings. Directors: EVERYONE in the audience knows this play. You can't fake it.

[NEMORINO1976]

@operafan65 JULIETTE Adieu mille fois! (Elle échappe des bras de Roméo et rentre dans le pavillon.) ROMÉO (seul) Va! repose en paix! Sommeille! Qu'un sourire d'enfant sur ta bouche vermeille Doucement vienne se poser! Et murmurant encore: je t'aime! à ton oreille Que la brise des nuits te porte en ce baiser! (Il s'éloigne.)
