''Julietta'' is an opera by Bohuslav Martinů, who also wrote the libretto, in French, based on the play ''Juliette, ou La clé des songes (Juliette, or The Key of Dreams)'' by the French author Georges Neveux. A libretto in Czech was later prepared. There are two principal roles: Julietta (soprano) and Michel (tenor). The opera received its first performance at the National Theatre, Prague on 16 March 1938, with Ota Horaková in the title role and Václav Talich conducting. James Helmes Sutcliffe remarked in ''Opera News''〔(Metropolitan Opera's website )〕 on "Martinů's beautiful score" and on his "lyrical, atmospheric music". Hindle and Godsil have published a psychoanalytical study of the opera and analysed the work in the context of Martinů's life. ==Performance history== The UK premiere was given in April 1978 in London by the New Opera Company, in an English translation.〔Crichton, Ronald, "First Performances: ''Julietta''" (June 1978). ''Tempo'' (New Ser.), 125: pp. 26–27.〕 A production by the Bielefeld Opera in Germany conducted by Geoffrey Moull received eight performances in 1992. While modern performances have been relatively rare, ''The Guardian'' notes performances〔 by Opera North in 1997, and a production by Richard Jones in Paris in 2002 which was revived by English National Opera in London in September/October 2012 to enthusiastic reviews overall.〔(Andrew Clements, "''Julietta'' – opera review", ''The Guardian'' ) (London), 18 September 2012〕 Germany's Theater Bremen stages a new production opening on March 29th, 2014 under the direction of John Fulljames.〔() Theater Bremen〕 Andreas Homoki and Fabio Luisi staged a new production at Opernhaus Zürich with Joseph Kaiser as Michel in 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Julietta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
