Daniel Steibelt (1765--1823) was a composer, teacher, virtuoso pianist and great traveler since we find his trace in the four corners of Europe after he fled a military career. Already author of many pieces for the piano, Roméo et Juliette is his first opera which was a great success at its premiere, and even beyond since it was still represented thirty years after its creation. The orchestration, rich in brass, sounds with a modernity that Berlioz will remember. A beautiful sleepy to discover thanks to the teams of the Palazzetto Bru Zane.
