Romeo and Juliet

Japanese: ロミオとジュリエット(英語表記)Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet
A ballet work. It consists of a prologue, three acts, 13 scenes, and a finale. Libretto by S. Radlov, A. Piotrovsky, L. Lavrovsky, music by S. Prokofiev, choreography by Lavrovsky. Prokofiev composed this work for the 200th anniversary of the Leningrad Ballet School, when he returned to Russia after 15 years in exile. However, it was not performed at first because it had a happy ending. After being performed at the Brno National Theatre in Czechoslovakia in 1938 with choreography by IV Psota, it premiered in Leningrad in 1940 at the Kirov Theatre with G. Ulanova and C. Sergeyev in the lead roles. Based on Shakespeare's original work, it is a masterpiece that depicts a grand drama in a realistic manner. Many revised versions with the same music by Prokofiev have been produced, and many works on the same theme with music by C. Lambert, F. Delius, Berlioz, and others have also been produced.

Romeo and Juliet

A tragedy by the English playwright Shakespeare. Five acts. Written around 1594, first published in 1597 as a quarto. Based on Arthur Brooke's long narrative poem The Tragic Story of Romeus and Juliet (62), which itself was inspired by the Italian Tale of Bandello (1554), this tragic fateful play is set in Renaissance Verona and tells the tragic love story between Romeo, the son of the noble Montague family, and Juliet, the daughter of his arch enemy, the Capulet family. Despite the tragic ending, it is a gorgeous play full of youthful energy. Romeo's friend Mercutio and Juliet's nurse are vividly portrayed.
