The French musical based on the world-renowned play "Romeo and Juliet" is coming to the city of Nanjing this weekend. Performing at Nanjing Poly Grand Theatre from Friday to Sunday, the cast has prepared new designs and surprises in the classic title.
7月21日-23日，2023南京音乐剧节重磅演出项目——法语原版音乐剧《罗密欧与朱丽叶》将在南京保利大剧院连演5场，用创新的手法呈现这部已上演20多年的经典音乐剧。
Written by Gérard Presgurvic as his first musical work and premiered in 2001, the musical has been localized in more than 20 countries and regions with over 10 million spectators worldwide. Being the reason for many people to fall in love with French musicals, "Roméo et Juliette" was crowned as "the greatest pop musical show of 21st century".
该剧由法国乐坛“教父级”大师捷哈·皮斯葛维克耗用两年心血完成，自首演以来，该剧被译成20多个版本，观众总数超1000万人次，是无数人对于法语音乐剧的“初恋”回忆，被欧洲媒体誉为“21世纪最伟大的流行音乐剧”。
The performance in Nanjing features Damien Sargue as Romeo and Cécilia Cara as Juliet, who were among the original cast of the show's debut two decades ago. A fan meeting was held right before the performance at Poly Grand Theatre to interact with the audience of Nanjing and present a small slice of the show's music.
此次“法罗朱”南京站演出将由该剧首演原版罗密欧的扮演者达米安·萨格，与首演版朱丽叶的扮演者塞西莉亚·卡拉再次合作登台。演出开始前，南京保利大剧院特别举办了主演见面会，邀请主演们与南京观众畅聊此次中国巡演中的趣闻。
Red and blue, the iconic colors of the two great families of the story, the Montagues and the Capulets, have been embedded not only in the stage and costume design, but also by Poly Theatre in the immersive audience experience.
作为由莎士比亚经典著作《罗密欧与朱丽叶》改编而来的法语音乐剧，其最大的戏剧冲突在于蒙太古家族和凯普莱特家族之间的世纪之仇，而“法罗朱”的舞美设计和服装设计都采用了最有对比感的红蓝两色，将蒙太古家族（蓝家）和凯普莱特家族（红家）从颜色上分为两大阵营。红与蓝的视觉碰撞也被保利大剧院融入观看体验的全流程当中，为观众提供沉浸式氛围。
