One of the most popular operas of the 19th Century, La Juive is a French grand opera by Jacques Fromental Halevy. It is the tragic story of an impossible love between a Christian man and a Jewish woman that is seen as a plea for religious tolerance. A favorite of famed tenors Enrico Caruso and Richard Tucker, it has enjoyed successful revivals in the past few decades.
