Romeo and Juliet (Act I)
Scene 1
It is early one morning. Romeo, dreaming of love, wanders through the deserted streets of Verona. Little by little, all sorts of people fill the square and the first customers arrive at the inn.
Tybalt, noticeably drunk, is on his way home. He sees Benvolio and, drawing his sword, attacks him immediately. The peaceful square turns into a scene of fierce fighting between the supporters of the Montague and Capulet households. Swords cross, people are killed and the alarm is sounded.
Paris, a young nobleman, appears. He has come to ask for the hand of Juliet, the beautiful daughter of Old Capulet. Nobody heeds him. Old Capulet himself is seen running out of his house, eager to play a part in the encounter with the Montagues.
The Duke of Verona and his guards appear in the square. The people implore him to put a stop to the bloodshed. The Duke commands them to drop their weapons, and issues a decree stating that anyone who bares arms in the streets of Verona will be sentenced to death.
Scene 2
Juliet playfully teases her old nurse, who is helping her dress for the imminent ball. Juliet’s mother enters and scolds her daughter for her childishness.
Scene 3
Guests pass in a ceremonious parade to the ball at the Capulets’ house. Paris is amongst them, accompanied by his page. Romeo’s friends, the witty Mercutio and the loyal Benvolio, persuade him to go to the ball with them. The young men put on masks; without them they cannot go to the feast because of the feud between the two families.
Scene 4
Romeo and his friends enter the Capulets’ palace. Romeo is captivated by Juliet’s beauty and cannot conceal his emotions. By accident, his mask slips, revealing his face to Juliet. She falls in love with the youth.
Tybalt recognises Romeo as an enemy of the Capulets and hurries off to tell Old Capulet that Romeo has dared to come to the ball. Romeo and his friends leave the house to avoid trouble.
Scene 5
On a moonlit balcony of the Capulets’ house, Juliet dreams of seeing Romeo again. Her dream comes true as Romeo appears in the garden below. He stretches out his arms to her in an expression of love. A moment later, they are together. They tenderly declare their love and vow eternal fidelity to each other.

《罗密欧与朱丽叶》(第一幕)
场景一
清晨，憧憬着爱情的罗密欧，漫步在维罗那小城空旷的街道上。渐渐的，小城广场中央汇聚了各类人群，旅店里也迎来了第一批客人。
提伯尔特一脸醉醺醺的模样，正走在回家路上。他看见了班伏里奥，于是拔出剑来，立马向他刺去。广场上的平静，被凯普莱特家族的提伯尔特和蒙太古家族的班伏里奥打破了。刀剑声中，有人死去，警鸣声也响了起来。
帕里斯，这位年轻贵族登场了。他是来向凯普莱特漂亮的闺女朱丽叶提亲的，可惜没人注意到他。有人看见凯普莱特已经急急出门，欲寻蒙太古家族的人。
维罗纳亲王和护卫来到广场，人们恳请他制止流血事件。亲王命令闹事者放下武器，并颁布了一道法令，规定凡是在维罗纳携武器出行者，一律问斩。
