Tomaž Onič Eva Zore Maribor 2018 Lektor povzetka v slovenščini: Andraž Gradišnik, mag. prof. angl. in slov. ZAHVALA It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Velika zahvala gre mojemu mentorju, izr. prof. dr. Tomažu Oniču, profesorju z veliko začetnico, za strokovne nasvete in vsestransko pomoč pri nastajanju tega magistrskega dela. Hvala red. prof. dr. Michelle Gadpaille za jezikovni pregled magistrskega dela. Hvala, mami in ati – brez vaju ta pot ne bi bila mogoča. IZVLEČEK To magistrsko delo analizira Gounodovo operno adaptacijo Shakespearove drame Romeo in Julija. Ljubezenska zgodba med Romeom in Julijo je postala arhetip ljubezni, zato lahko njuna lika zasledimo v različnih umetniških disciplinah. Na področju glasbe je bila Shakespearova zgodba prikazana v številnih žanrih, med drugim najvidneje v Bellinijevi operi I Capuleti e i Montecchi (1830), Berliozovi simfoniji Roméo and Juliette (1839), Gounodovi romantični operi Roméo et Juliette (1867), baletu Sergeja Prokofjeva Ромео и Джульетта (1938) in v Bernsteinovem muzikalu West Side Story (1961). Gounodeva opera Roméo et Juliette je delo v petih dejanjih na francoski libreto Julesa Barbiera in Michela Carréja. Prvič je bila uprizorjena leta 1867 v pariškem gledališču Théâtre-Lyrique. Magistrsko delo analizira in primerja dve primarni besedili: Shakespearovo dramo Romeo and Juliet in libreto opere Charlesa Gounoda Roméo et Juliette.
