Music by Charles Gounod
Conducted by Sir Charles Mackerras, from the Royal Opera House, 1994
Famous production with Roberto Alagna : Romeo, Leontina Vaduva : Juliette...

Enjoy Roberto's performance in what might be his best characterization ever : the best of Romeos to me (and a lot others) with a wonderful diction (I'm French, you can believe me !)

  • He was really special in this. Thanks so much for posting.

  • Le meilleur rôle de Roberto Alagna, sans aucun doute. Sa voix se prête vraiment au répertoire de l'opéra français.

  • @klw0302 - there may be a version of this clip on YT with English, but if you are interested, the entire performance/complete opera is available with English subtitles, on DVD, at amazon.com (new or used) and is well worth watching (I have a copy).

  • This is so beautifully done, it makes me want to study French again (only had 2 yrs in college). By the way, I thought I saw a video several weeks ago with English subtitles, and now cannot find it. Does anyone know where I might find one?

  • Je ne veux pas être nostalgique, je sais que la voix est chose fragile et changeante, mais pourquoi Alagna a-t-il voulu d'un répertoire qui l'oblige à s'abîmer, quand il aurait pu être un digne successeur de Vanzo et Kraus? Cette video est comme l'image d'un trésor perdu. Il est beau comme un dieu et il chante pareil. Alors Calaf, Otello, Radames, A QUOI BON?? quand nous perdons Romeo, Nadir, Werther?

  • the best Romeo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • He is just perfect!
