I did not want to update this tragedy. I thought that it would not be the most important thing for me, but rather Shakespeare himself, that is, theatricality and theater in theater (...)

Gounod's adaptation is ironically said to be "four love duets with additions." The duets are very well written, so I decided to focus on what was going on between them. constant deaths, fights against each other and daily feuds (...).

The divisions can be seen in the costumes of the feuding families: the Capers are a group that has money and power, which makes it look more neat, drawn with one line when it comes to costumes, also in color. The Montekich group is a more run-down family whose glory is now past and it shows too. Capillaries wear beautiful Elizabethan ruffles, they are dressed in white, while Romeo's group is rude, has moldy collars, lost ruffles symbolizing its fall (...).

The balcony, garden and chapel are iconographic places closely related to the whole history (...). In our wooden theater interior, stylized as "The Globe" with galleries and windows, the element pointing to the garden will be a wooden tree. It must be remembered that neither Shakespeare nor Gounod tried to tell a documentary story, hence the emphasis on symbols (...).

At the end of the opera, however, the heroes ask God for forgiveness. It is only an underlining of the purity of their intentions, but of a childish innocence that cannot win against the cruel world around us of these great and everyday wars.
