Gounod Roméo et Juliette Estonian National Opera, September 2019 Director Stephen Barlow Lighting Matthew Haskins

Reviews

The sets are truly beautiful: the extravagant luxury of the dinner party in the opening scene, the atmospheric outdoor scene below Juliette’s balcony, and the contrasting confrontation scene complete with riot barriers; or the sparse interior of Father Laurence’s chapel. The frequent changes of scenes are smoothly handled with the revolving stage. The visual aspects are indeed superbly controlled. (Seen and Heard International)
