The stage was simple, but represent the scenes very well.
I missed the ballet in the setting.

I am no expert in the genre of opera nor have I seen very many of them but this performance was lacking in vocal performance strength. I also did not feel a chemistry between the main characters as you would think there would be since they are portraying Romeo and Juliette.

Both my friend and I were completely taken away by the entire production of this opera by Gounod and in particular by the incredible voice of 'Juliette' played by Jennifer Black on Sunday, Nov. 18. Just beautiful!
We usually sit in the upper section of the balcony. Unfortunately, there are certain seats that should not be due to the obstruction of the rails along the stair way. All seats in a row cost the same, including those obstructed. Therefore, there should not be a seat where one has to bend forward or sideways. Those seats are for instance in the last row (the only ones available at time of booking) seats 3 and 5 and subsequently, seat 5 should also eliminated. We have had previous complaints about this issue when we had purchased season tickets.
Leaving the above aside, I have attended Phoenix Opera since the late '70s when I came from Germany and was used to such musical events from an early age on. It was quite provincial in those times and I must say that the Opera has come a long way and can be compared with great opera houses around the world in terms of production and vocal quality of its cast.

Screechy soprano, minimal stage set...I've definitely seen livelier operas. Will pass on Romeo and Juliette next time.

The opera was beautiful, we went to the pre curtain dinner and were not thrilled. For $50 a plate we got a buffet style meal that was not great. Plus there were only three big tables so we were squished in between other patrons. Would not reccomend that I didn't feel we got our money's worth. The opera singers were terrific but there were quite a few stage changes which left us staring at a black curtain. Overall it was good not great. The orchestra was spot on!

Chorus was outstanding.
Most of the solo voices were very good also, especially Juliette.

Second half (after intermission) was draggy.
Costumes were nice but looked old/worn.
Musical score was pretty but forgettable.
Sometimes the orchestra drowned out the singers.
Interpreters were very difficult to hear/understand.

I'd say this interpretation paled in comparison to Franco Zefarelli's movie as well as to Shakespeare's play.

Juliette had a strong vocal performance, requiring incredible strength from many quite difficult postures (lying down, bending over, etc).
Romeo's beautiful sound and tone was somewhat undone by the lack of strength. Put in juxtaposition in many duets to that of Juliette, the difference in strength of voice was made very evident.
The "bed" scene was very awkwardly choreographed as was the final death scene of Romeo. Over-all, the opera was done masterfully with a well balanced and blended chorus and an overall energy that kept the opera moving.

I enjoyed the performance very much. Costuming was great as were the voices. From my 1st balcony front row, the view was perfect. The only negative I found were the 'readers' between scenes. They were muffled an 'echoey', and basically could not be understood from my location. Otherwise excellent job, and I will be returning to the venue in the future.

This opera was excellent! Be forewarned though, if you've never attended the opera before, "Romeo et Juliette" is probably not what you want to start with. It is not a beginner's opera by any stretch of the imagination.
All in all though, an exquisite piece of artwork!

UK opera company is a real hidden treasure! The chorus was fantastic, staging and direction was perfection and Juliette's performance was epic. I highly recommend everyone go to the Friday, October 28th performance for a real opera treat! Brava UK Opera...well done.
