In fact, they were distant relatives FUN FACT of Shakespeare’s! CREATE YOUR OWN MASK In the first act of Roméo et Juliette, the title characters meet at a masked ball. Use the forms below and on the next page to design your own masks. You can even cut them out and use string to tie them around your face. Gounod’s opera is one of many adaptations of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet— others include the opera I Capuleti e i Montecchi by Vincenzo Bellini, the ballet FUN FACT Romeo and Juliet by Sergei Prokofiev, and the Broadway musical West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, and Arthur Laurents. Even Disney’s High School Musical was inspired by this classic story—although it features a happy ending instead of the play’s famously tragic final scene. Even though the story of Romeo and Juliet is fiction, the town of Verona (where it is set) receives thousands of letters every year addressed to Juliet. Today, a group of FUN FACT people called the Juliet Club answers each letter by hand. You can even visit them online at julietclub.com..

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.

Hong Kong Premiere Bellini's I Capuleti E I Montecchi
Presented by: Press Release Opera Hong Kong announces to stage Hong Kong Premiere Bellini’s I Capuleti e i Montecchi A Story of Romeo & Juliet A Semi-staged Opera in Two Acts (16 Jul 2021, Hong Kong) This summer, Opera Hong Kong brings the audience a new production, Bellini’s I Capuleti e i Montecchi, directed by Nancy Yuen and under the baton of renowned Italian Conductor Francesco Di Mauro. The coming production is a Hong Kong premiere on 27 & 29 August, 2021, at Concert Hall, Hong Kong City Hall. Adapted from Luigi Scevola’s play with the same name, Bellini’s I Capuleti e i Montecchi is different from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. This Italian version does not detail the arising affection of the lovers, but centres on the last 24 hours in the lives of Romeo and Giulietta (Juliet), and sets the story within the very real political violence between the Guelphs and Ghibellines that roiled medieval Italian cities. When the opera opens, the die is already cast: Giulietta is betrothed to Tebaldo (Tybalt), but has already fallen in love with Romeo who has earned the eternal enmity of her family by having inadvertently killed Giulietta's brother in battle. Audiences will fall into the poignant atmosphere of love with its powerful dramatic scenes and intense emotions. This semi-staged opera in two acts is directed by Nancy Yuen, Head of Vocal Studies with The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA) and the Honorary Artistic Director of Singapore Lyric Opera. As a director, Nancy has collaborated with Opera Hong Kong in a few productions last year, including The Marriage of Figaro in November and Così fan tutte x The Magic Flute: Abridged Versions of Operas by Mozart in December.
