To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One reason is that, in the lay-out of the libretto the authors deliberately sought to furnish Gounod with another "Faust, " and so challenged comparison. Even StepJiano, a character of their creation, was intended to give the same balance to the cast that Siebel does to that of "Faust. " In a performance of Shakespeare's play it is possible to act the scene of parting without making it too much the duplication" of the balcony scene, which it appears to be in the opera. The "balcony scene" is an... obvious attempt to create another "garden scene. " But in "Faust, " what would be the too long-drawn-out sweet- ness of too much love music is overcome, in the most natural manner, by the brilliant "Jewel Song, " and by Mephistopheles's sinister invocation of the flowers. In "Romeo et Juliette, " on the other hand, the interruption afforded by Gregory and the chorus is too artificial not to be merely disturbing. It should be said again, however, that French audiences regard the work with far more favour than we do.
