Has anyone seen this opera? I'm considering going to the performance at the Houston Grand Opera in April/May of 2005. I know that Ana Maria Martinez performs with Ramon Vargas. She has a beautiful voice and is such a lovely person, and he is a very good tenor (not my favorite, of course, but very good none-the-less)......but I've never heard the music. Can anyone tell me about this opera? Thanks! :)

It's an opera written by Gounod, and the aria "Je veux vivre" which has also been sung by Maria Luigia Borsi on the Sentimento tour, is from this opera. It's a romantic opera, of course based on the play by Shakespeare. Ramon Vargas is considered one of the best tenors of this time. I didn't hear that opera yet, but I think it will be lovely. Gounod is the same one responsible for one of the Ave Maria's. And the famous "Jewel song" from Faust is also written by him.
