“Good night, good night. Parting is such sweet sorrow.” – ROMEO AND JULIET
Berlioz pays homage to the most famous love story of all time in his elegant Roméo et Juliette. Full of lyrical beauty, Berlioz was influenced by Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and Shakespeare’s epic drama. The STL Symphony and Chorus perform together conveying the magic and brevity of love in this work performed under the baton of Conductor Laureate Leonard Slatkin bringing the Shakespeare Festival to a spectacular conclusion.
