Sometimes it’s hard to believe that the English language was once so poetically beautiful. William Shakespeare’s 'Romeo And Juliet' remind us of literature we used before we got so lazy.
The Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and State Theatre Company are bringing you a night of romance with their rendition of 'Romeo And Juliet' at the Adelaide Town Hall – treating audiences to a magical night of drama and music. You are bound to be leaving replacing slang with Shakespeare’s words and humming to Berlioz, Bernstein and Prokofiev's finest scores.
To get you prepared, here are five memorable quotes from 'Romeo And Juliet'.
One
“What’s in a name?That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet” – Juliet
Two
“O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love. And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.”– JulietThree
“See how she leans her cheek upon her hand! O that I were a glove upon that hand,That I might touch that cheek!” – Romeo
Four
“Give me my Romeo, and, when I shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars,And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun.” – Juliet
