This combination cantata, symphony, and opera splits into three long movements. There are a few dull passages, but most of its 120 minutes brim over with intense emotion. After an orchestral introduction, a choral recitative marks out the plot, and the first movement ends with what seems to be a rather static version of the famous balcony scene.

There was no letdown in his musicmaking, as sell-out audiences found, everywhere he conducted his orchestra.
