Summary:
No one ever doubted the handsome, charismatic Italian tenor Franco Corelli was the personification of the romantic hero. So what better role for him than Roméo, the impetuous youth who defies his family, and his city, to follow where his heart leads? Corelli's ardor knows no bounds in his quest for Juliette (the sparkling Judith Blegen). This performance leaves no doubt that even though Roméo and Juliette are young, they are truly, profoundly in love.
Contents:
Overture
Vérone vit jadis deux familes rivales
L'heure s'envole joyeuse et folle
Eh bien? cher Pŕis!
Ah! Qu'elle est belle! ; Écoutez! écoutez!
Allons! jeunes gens! Allons! belles dames!
Ballet
Enfin la place est libre
Mab, la reine des mensonges
Voyons nourice
Je veux vivre dans le rêve (Juliet's waltz)
Le nom de cette belle enfant? Ange adorable
Quel qu'un! C'est mon cousin Tybalt! Que la fête recommence!
Entr'acte
Ô nuit! sous tes ailes obscure
L'amour! L'amour! Ah! lève-toi soleil!
Hélas! Moi, le haïr!
Écoute! On vient! Personne! Personne!
Ô nuit divine!
Ah! ne fuis pas encore!
Mon père! Dieu vous garde!
Dieu, qui fis l'homme à ton image
Depuis hier je cherche ; Que fais-tu blanche tourterelle
Ah! Ah! Voici nos gens!
Allons! Tu ne me connais pas
Qu'est-ce donc? C'est Tybalt! Ô jour de deuil!
Eh quoi? Tou-jours du sang! Ah! Jour de deuil et d'horreur
Va! Je t'ai pardonné
Nuit d'hyménée
Ah! tu dis vrai, c'est le jour!
Juliette! Ah! Le ciel soit loué!
Mon père! Tout m'accable! Buvez donc ce breuvage
Ma fille, cède aux vœux du fiance qui t'aime!
Juliet's slumber
C'est la! Salut! Ô ma femme!
À toi, ma Juliette!
Console-toi, pauvre ḿe.
