Romeo and Juliet the opera :) (OPEN!)?
This is the Romeo and Juliet italian opera made by Riccardo Cocciante and Pasquale Panella, very popular italian composers and musicians. Its debut was in the Arena of VERONA (of course!) and then it toured in the whole of Italy (rome, milan, florence, venice etc etc). The young cast right now is touring in China. Watch these vids and tell me what you think :) VIDEO ONE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8-CVIrDJ… In the first scene there's a fight between the Capulets (dressed in black) and the Montegues (dressed in light brown). The guy with the curly hair is Benvolio (Romeo's friend) and the singer that plays him is Angelo Del Vecchio and is only 15 years old. The other guy is Tebaldo (Juliet's cousin) played by Valerio Di Rocco. The second video is just a small part of a party for Juliet's marriage proposal with a man (that is not Romeo and whom she doesn't want to marry at all). The third video is... well... you can imagine :-) The girl is Juliet, of course and the singer that plays her is Tania Tuccinardi and she's 17 years old, while Romeo is Matteo Vito and he's 16. These scenes are from the opera in the Arena of Verona. SECOND VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdkuHETNP… This is Mercutio singing and the singer is Gian Marco Schiaretti who's 18 years old. In the video you can see pieces of the whole opera. The song tells the story about Romeo and Juliet's love. :-) The guys with the curly hair that you briefly see at the start, sometimes during the video and at the very end of the video is Riccardo Cocciante who created the opera. (ps. you can stop right after the song ends :D) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-J_Q_yEF… <--- this is the same song in another video though! VIDEO THREE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F93Av0WBh… These are the nicest songs in the opera :) The first song is called "Tu sei" (You are) and we've already seen it before, the second one is "Mercuzio, Tebaldo, le spade" (Mercutio, Tebald, the swords) and it's where Mercutio is killed by Tebald. The third song is "Com'è leggera la vita" (How light is life), that Mercutio sings before he dies. The fourth song is sung by Juliet's nurse and the priest who married Romeo and Juliet. VIDEO FOUR: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC_Ze1Fs4… This are the most sad parts of the opera. Romeo finds Juliet and thinks she's dead, so he kills himself, then Juliet wakes up and in this opera she dies of pain. (ps. sorry the quality is very bad,..) This is the traduction of the last song that Juliet sings "Il cuore" (the heart) The heart, my heart is breaking, I let it break, the heart breaks, and I let my heart break, the heart dies, and I die with the heart that wants to die, I break with my heart, I'm breaking with my heart,.. Romeo...I die with my heart, Romeo... I die, I die of love, Romeo... and I let it break, the heart, and I let myself break by the heart...the heart, the heart hears me, and I want to follow my heart, my heart follows me... and I'm dying Romeo, with the heart that dies... me and the heart... that dies... Hope you enjoy it :-) and if you want any other song traduction just tell me!

Dance-floor dynamo is 65 and stayin' alive Former hippie and member of Perth County Conspiracy calls drug peyote `the catalyst that turned me into a dancer' Aug 14, 2009 04:30 AM NICK AVELING STAFF REPORTER Peter Cheyne puts down his double Scotch and removes his tweed jacket. He bobs toward the dance floor, a sweaty patch of hardwood in Little Italy's Sutra Tiki Bar. And then it begins. He launches into an improvised flurry of spins and kicks, somewhere between the Tasmanian Devil and a 14-year-old gymnast. His surroundings become props: the wall, a chair, a group of girls who are only too happy to join in. Cheyne is the best dancer in the room – likely the best on the entire street. One more thing: he's 65 years old. "I dance for the meditation," says Cheyne, who every so often takes the train from Stratford to strut his stuff in downtown Toronto. "I dance to stay still." He sure fooled his audience. Crystal VanLeeuwen, a 28-year-old nurse, could scarcely believe what she was seeing. "I was definitely surprised. He looked good dancing, and he's having a good time. He loves what he's doing," she said. Born in Scotland, Cheyne's path to sexagenarian dance machine began with a kick in the stomach. He was 9 years old, living at a boarding school outside London, England. "I got in a fight with a pair of identical twins. When I woke up in the hospital three weeks later, the doctors had taken my appendix out," said Cheyne. "During the operation they found out I had tuberculosis in one lung." He spent the next nine months in hospital, followed by a year in a Brighton sanatorium. It was then, said Cheyne, that he chose a future in the arts. "Most of my life I've lived outside the box, and it goes back to those two years I had no basic schooling. I've had to invent myself outside of those kinds of things." Finally, the doctors gave Cheyne's parents a choice. The boy needed clean air. Australia or Canada would do just fine. Cheyne's stepfather (his birth father died in World War II), a budding stage actor by the name of Tony van Bridge, reluctantly settled on Stratford, Ont. Van Bridge went on to become one of Canada's most renowned stage performers. Cheyne, meanwhile, would eventually be introduced to the Perth County Conspiracy – and a drug called peyote. "Peyote was the catalyst that turned me into a dancer," said Cheyne. But that's getting ahead of the story. The '60s had arrived in Stratford, and amidst the flickering candlelight of the Black Swan coffee house, a quiet revolution was underway. A "unique collection of stumbling creative people" – writers, artists, dancers and, above all else, musicians – flocked to Stratford, and by 1969, the Swan had become an unofficial clubhouse for the vanguard of Canada's hippie movement. They started a commune on the outskirts of town, named themselves the Perth County Conspiracy, and got on with the business of changing the world, touring Canada and releasing five records. "It was sort of a Canadian version of the Grateful Dead," said Cheyne. Cheyne found his Conspiracy niche in an alfalfa field. "It was a beautiful, lovely day, and one of the Conspiracy members was playing a tune called `Layers of the Onion.' It was a little cosmic ditty," he said. "All of a sudden there was a huge door in my field of vision with yellow light pouring out of it. I stepped into it and leapt off the planet. "It wasn't an intellectual thing, but I realized there was an avenue of creative expression, and it was going to be mine." Over the next few days, his peyote-fuelled epiphany crystallized: Cheyne would teach himself to dance. He would also teach himself to mime. And that was that. The Black Swan closed in 1975 and the Conspiracy, by then numbering 100 or more, broke apart. But a faithful few remain in Stratford, tied not so much to the Conspiracy itself as to the friendships created therein. Cheyne lives with Harry Finlay, one of the Conspiracy's founders. The pair recently staged a reunion in a Stratford church basement. "It (was) the 19th annual revival – a fundraiser for Shelterlink, an organization that addresses the needs of homeless youth," said Finlay, who describes living with Cheyne as a "delight." Cheyne continues to dabble on the fringes of Toronto's arts scene. And given the crowds that gather when he hits the dance floor, he considers each move an exercise in "guerrilla theatre." He has also found a new passion with which to pay the bills. "Gardening is what brings me great joy right now," Cheyne said. "A little old lady came up to me last week and said, `You're the dancing flower guy!'" he said. "I'm viewed as an eccentric, and I don't mind that at all. It's an accolade."
