Description:
This is a setting of the most famous scene from Shakespeare's tragedy. The text has been greatly shortened and fewer words are needed when singing than in the spoken dialog! Romeo and Juliet have fallen in love, but they come from two families who have hated each other for generations. If Juliet's family found out about their love, Romeo would be killed. He has climbed over the wall of the orchard and is risking his life by entering the Capulet's property. Juliet asks Romeo to renounce his family name - what do names mean? This leads to the famous sentence: "Whatever we call Rose, whatever it is called, would smell sweet." Romeo agrees: "Just call me Love, and I'll be rebaptized. From now on, I am no longer Romeo." After declaring their love, the two lovers wish each other a tender good night.
