广告语: 伯恩斯坦是廿世纪最具个人魅力的指挥家、作曲家、音乐教育工作者与音乐家。他是第一位登上史卡拉歌剧院的美国指挥家，他的作品风格形式多变，作品包括交响曲、小夜曲、圣歌、芭蕾舞剧、歌剧与音乐剧。改编自莎翁名剧「罗密欧与朱丽叶」的「西城故事」是伯恩斯坦的最著名的音乐剧作品。本剧以纽约上西区为背景，表现美国街头帮派的恩怨情愁，以美国本土的喷射帮与波多黎各鲨鱼帮的冲突，取代原著中两大世仇的构思，呈现出极佳的戏剧张力。
本片收录的是「西城故事」录音过程，男主角由三大男高音之一的卡雷拉斯担纲，深情的歌声，非常传神地演绎剧中人的情感。女主角玛莉亚是个抒情女高音的角色，是由知名女高音卡娜娃演唱。由歌剧唱强来诠释音乐剧的角色，果然有超水平的演出。
