Roméo et Juliette is based, of course, on the play by Shakespeare, a writer who was all the rage in early 19th-century Paris. “I sat transfixed, struggling to play the notes while fighting back tears of profound emotion … From that moment on, life was never the same, as I had found music that spoke to me as nothing ever before, a composer that I had previously not understood and who had now become my artistic goal, and the central passion of my musical life.” “After a couple of days of rehearsals, the musical mist gradually cleared, and I will never forget the moment when, finally, at the concert, on the stage of Carnegie Hall, the full impact of the music hit me and Berlioz’s intentions became clear to me,” Figueroa wrote in 2003 for an essay he penned for Berlioz’s bicentenary. But to get them to understand it, that’s my goal,” he said.įigueroa, who will lead performances Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, has had a long love affair with the music of Berlioz, ever since first encountering the composer while a student at Juilliard in the 1970s, playing violin in an orchestra taking part in Les Troyens, the French composer’s gigantic Virgil-based opera. The technical difficulties, they will master. He’s not as concerned that his musicians will be able to physically play the music. But it can easily go over people’s heads.” Once you get it, then every single note is unbelievable. “It’s not something that they’re used to. “The difficulty is going to be in understanding it, in getting it, particularly in something like the ‘Adagio,’” Figueroa said. It’s an exciting and rare event, but it also poses a serious challenge to the young conservatory orchestral players who are tackling it, and not just for technique. The score he’s pointing to, explaining the perils of this or that passage, is the playbook for this weekend, when the violinist and conductor will lead the Lynn Philharmonia, the Master Chorale of South Florida, and two solo singers in Roméo et Juliette, a “dramatic symphony” by Hector Berlioz that premiered in 1839. Sitting at a table in a new Boca Raton diner, Guillermo Figueroa opens his cloth-bound, dark blue Bärenreiter edition of the music and points to a page, marked with various colored pencils.
