More Information:

One master pays tribute to another: Berlioz translates Shakespeare into music, echoing the youthful passion and moral message of Romeo and Juliet. He transforms the story into a gigantic symphony, remaining true to Shakespeare, while creating something that magnifies the play and its meaning.
