| Abstract: | Manoel Theatre and Bank of Valletta (BOV) present the programme for the concert version of the opera "Roméo et Juliette", conducted by Michael Laus, led by Marcelline Agius, and performed by the Orkestra Nazzjonali. The opera was adapted from William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet" by librettists Jules Barbier and Michel Carré, with music composed by Charles Gounod. The event was originally planned to be a theatrical performance of the opera, though this was changed later in production for unforeseen reasons. The performance featured the Malta Chorale, led by chorus master Lino Attard. The performance was held as part of the BOV Opera Festival 2005, on the 16th and the 18th of March, 2005, at the Manoel Theatre, in Valletta. |
