Note du transcripteur.
In the bustling streets of Verona, two noble houses have been locked in a bitter rivalry for generations. Their ancient grudge colors every gathering, turning even ordinary celebrations into potential flashpoints. Amid this tension, a lavish carnival unfurls, drawing the city’s youth into a night of masks and music.
It is there that a young Montecchi, Romeo, catches the eye of Juliet, the bright daughter of the Capelletti. Their brief exchange, charged with curiosity and admiration, sparks a secret affection that quickly deepens. Determined to defy the hatred surrounding them, the pair seek the aid of a kindly friar, who agrees to unite them in a quiet ceremony, hoping their love might bridge the divide.
Their newfound bond blossoms in whispered meetings and stolen moments, but the ever‑watchful eyes of the feuding families loom large, hinting that their fragile happiness will soon be tested by forces beyond their control.
