LA Opera Talk: Romeo et Juliette October 16, 2011

In the comfort of the Barth Community Room you will learn how Gounod's score thrills the ear with swirling waltzes, dramatic choruses and exquisite arias. Fall in love all over again, as samples of four sublime love duets...so pure, so poetic, so perfect...flood the room with intoxicating romance, making Roméo et Juliette an unforgettable experience to savor.
