Gounod: Romeo et Juliette Synopsis
The sensational hit of Salzburg's 2008 festival season arrives on DVD! Starring tenor Rolando Villazón in a stunning performance, this was the must have ticket of the season.

With sets by Michael Yeargan and costumes by Catherine Zuber, the visually vibrant production is sure to become the benchmark.
