From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Village Romeo and Juliet is an opera by Frederick Delius, first performed at the Komische Oper, Berlin on 21 February 1907. The libretto, by the composer himself, is based on the short story Romeo und Juliet auf dem Dorfe by the Swiss author Gottfried Keller. The orchestral interlude between Scenes 5 and 6, "The Walk to the Paradise Garden", is often heard separately in concerts.
