Roméo et Juliette at Opéra de Paris

This June at Opéra national de Paris, Mr. Bernheim performs in his second production of Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette this season, directly following his performances of the role at Opernhaus Zürich. Many critics claimed that he was the perfect fit for the role and Oper Aktuell went as far as to crown the tenor “THE Roméo of our time... His voice seems to know no limits, always remains supple, never narrows in height, and even spreads out. Everything always sounds unforced, sung with great breath, elegant, seamless - simply a dream.” On this occasion, Benjamin shares the stage with Elsa Dreisig as Juliette, Jean Teitgen as Friar Laurent, Maciej Kwaśnikowski as Tybalt, Huw Montague Rendall/Florian Sempey as Mercutio and Laurent Naouri as Count Capulet in this new production by Thomas Jolly, a director known for his daring reinterpretations of Shakespeare's works. Maestro Carlo Rizzi conducts the Orchestra and Chorus of the Opéra national de Paris. 

Mr. Bernhiem will be performing uniquely on June 17th, 20th, 23rd, 26th, 29th; July 3rd, 6th, 9th, & 12th. 

The opera will be broadcast on France Musique on July 8th at 20h.
