The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is the most famous love story of all time. Starting with the hate between two rival families, Shakespeare's play moves towards its tragic conclusion through scenes of fighting, love and desperation, but also with moments of fun and humour. The theme is still relevant today: the impulsive nature of young people against the traditional ideas of the older generation. Ideas, which in this story, only change when it is too late.
羅密歐與茱麗葉的悲劇,是史上最著名的愛情故事。故事起源於兩個世仇家族。莎士比亞的歌劇藉由爭鬥、愛情及絕望的場景及有趣且幽默的橋段,帶出了這部劇悲情結局。這部歌劇的主題仍與現今議題有關,個性衝動的年輕世代仍會和舊時代的傳統觀念有所衝突。而當想法改變時,為時已晚。
