 I. What I Need to Know
European theater began in Ancient Greece. It began around 700 B.C. with
festivals honoring their many gods. Dionysus (Di-on-i-sus), the god of wine and
fertility, has a religious festival called, “The Cult of Dionysus,” to honor him. The city-
state of Athens, the center of a significant cultural, political, and military power during
this period, is where the festivals and competitions were usually performed. The three
well-known Greek tragedy playwrights are Sophocles, Euripides, and Aeschylus.
Renaissance theater arts were characterized by a return of Classical Greek
and Roman arts and culture. • In the middle Ages, mystery plays formed a part of
religious festivals in England and other parts of Europe during the Renaissance
period. Morality plays (in which the protagonist was met by personifications of various
moral attributes who try to choose a Godly life over the evil) and the University drama
were formed to recreate Athenian tragedy.
During Romantic period, melodrama and ―operas became the most popular
theatrical forms. Melodrama originated from the French word “melodrame”, which is
derived from Greek “melos”, music, and French “drame”, which is derived from Greek
“dran” to perform. Melodrama can be also be described as a dramatic work that puts
characters in a lot of danger in order to appeal to the emotions and in which orchestral
music or song was used to accompany the action

Sophocles, born in Colonus near Athens, Greece in 496 B.C.E.,
he was an ancient Greek playwright. His father, Sophilus, was
a wealthy member of the 'Deme' rural society. Sophocles was
highly educated. He's one of three tragedians from Greece
whose plays have lived on. The Suda, an ancient encyclopedia
from the 10th century, from which we know that 123 plays were
composed by him, but only seven have survived in a complete
form.
Those are:
1. Ajax
2. Antigone
3. The Women of Trachis
4. Oedipus (Ee dih-pus) the King
5. Electra
6. Philoctetes
7. Oedipus at Colonus
Oedipus the King (Oedipus Rex) is part of the trilogy called the
Theban plays (Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone),
which were written over a 30-year period - not for a single
festival. Oedipus the King, written sometime after the deadly
plague in Athens in 430 BC, was the second of the three plays to
be produced. Audiences very well knew the legend of Oedipus,
so Sophocles could make use of dramatic irony.
Oedipus hears rumors that Polybus is not his real father and
seeks advice from the oracle at Delphi. Before he gets an answer
to his question, the priestess tells him the prophecy about killing
his father and marrying his mother.
To avoid the prophecy, Oedipus flees Corinth, vowing never to
return.
Oedipus gets into an argument with a man (Laius) on the road
and kills him. He then goes to Thebes and saves the city by
correctly answering the riddle of the Sphinx. As a reward,
Oedipus becomes king of Thebes and marries the queen,
Jocasta. Years later the city suffers from a plague of infertility
indicating someone had polluted the city.
Polybus – Oedipus foster father
Merope – Oedipus foster mother
Antigone and Ismene – the
daughters of Oedipus
Haemon – Antigone’s lover
Sphinx – The half human half lion
that symbolizes plague and
misfortune.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616), considered the best English-
speaking writer in history and recognized as the national poet of
England, had more dramatic works performed than any other
playwright. To this day, his thesis is honored by numerous
theater festivals around the world, students memorize his
eloquent poetry, and historians reinterpret the million words of
text he wrote. They still look for information about the life of the
person that inspires such "bardolatry" (as it was derisively named
by George Bernard Shaw), much of which remains shrouded in
mystery. Located in Elizabethan England into a family of humble,
the "Bard of Avon" wrote at least 37 plays and a book of sonnets,
set up the legendary Globe Theater and helped change the
English language. William Shakespeare was born in the thriving
market town of Stratford-upon-Avon,

Shakespeare’s Childhood and Family Life

100 miles northwest of London, and baptized there on 26 April 1564.Traditionally, his birthday
is celebrated on April 23, which was the date of his death in 1616 and is the feast day of St. George,
England's patron saint. John, the founder of Shakespeare, dabbled in agriculture, wood trading,
tanning, leatherwork, money lending and other occupations; before slipping into poverty in the late
1580s, he also held a number of civic offices. John, the charismatic son of a tenant farmer, improved
his social standing by marrying an aristocratic landowner's daughter, Mary Arden.
Shakespeare’s Plays and Poems
The first plays of Shakespeare, considered to have been published before or after 1592,
cover all three of the major dramatic genres in the oeuvre of the bard: tragedy ("Titus Andronicus");
satire ("The Two Gentlemen of Verona," "The Comedy of Errors" and "The Taming of the Shrew");
and history (the trilogy of "Henry VI" and "Richard III"). As these early works premiered on the
London stage, Shakespeare was undoubtedly associated with several separate theater companies.
He began writing and acting in 1594 with a troupe known as the Lord Chamberlain's Men (renamed
the King's Men after its patron was chosen by James I) Finally, to create the iconic Globe theater in
1599, he became its house playwright and joined with other founders.
Shakespeare wrote the most popular of his 37-plus plays between the mid-1590s and his
retirement around 1612, including "Romeo and Juliet," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Hamlet,"
"King Lear," "Macbeth" and "The Tempest." He is renowned as a dramatist for his frequent use of
iambic pentameter, meditative soliloquies (such as Hamlet's ubiquitous "To be, or not to be" speech)
and ingenious wordplay. His works weave together and recreate dramatic conventions from ancient
Greece, including various casts of characters with complicated psyches and emotional struggles in
human.

When the feud between the Montagues and Capulets spills into
the streets of Verona, a great love must be kept secret—that of
Romeo, son of Montague, and Juliet, daughter of the sworn
enemy. But only a tragic twist of fate can promise peace. When
Shakespeare staged Romeo and Juliet in 1594, it was already a
centuries-old Italian tale that had been translated and adapted in
verse and prose by a number of poets and storytellers. Out of
the common threads of those now-forgotten works,
Shakespeare created not only one of his most popular plays, but
one that would become the archetypal love story of the English
language.

 The Use of Sound in Romeo and Juliet

There are three types of sound that can be used in a film: dialogue; sound effects and music. As
well as this, these sounds can also be classified as diegetic sound and non-diegetic sound. I shall be
analyzing the sound used in the 1996 version of Romeo and Juliet directed by Baz Luhrmann
https://kbimages1-
a.akamaihd.net/4f688b5e-3154-
435a-ba08-
Non-diegetic sound is the sound that has been
1b3540616ece/1200/1200/False
put into the film, e.g. background music or voice overs
Diegetic sound is the sound that is naturally
/romeo-and-juliet-194.jpg occurring, e.g. the sound of the wind or footsteps

Sound Effects - there are many sound effects that have been used in this opening sequence to
emphasize certain movements and actions. The sound effects used were:
• the screeching of wheels when cars were braking or pulling away
• the revving of car engines
• the tapping of Tybalt's metal heeled shoes
• gun shots
• the sound of the gun hitting the floor
• the screech from the gas station sign blowing in the wind
Most of these sound effects are diegetic as they would occur naturally in the scene, however, some of
these sounds have been emphasized to make them stand out to the audience. For example, the
movement of their guns in the wind, the match hitting the floor and the movement of their shirts to reveal
their guns.
As the gas station scene was filmed next to a busy motorway much of the background noise has been
cutout or the sound levels are reduced, although you can occasionally hear a vehicle driving past in the
background.

STAGING
The stage itself was divided into three levels:
• A main stage area with doors at the rear and a curtained
area at the back for "discovery scenes";
• An upper, canopied area called "heaven", for balcony
scenes; and
• An area under the stage called "hell," which could be
accessed through a trap door in the stage. There is no curtain
in the front of the stage, which meant that scenes had to flow
into each other, and "dead bodies" had to be
Dragged off. There are dressing rooms located behind the
stage, the performances during the renaissance period took
place during the day,

And the open plan theater allowed for the use of natural light. Since there could be no dramatic
lighting and there was art direction (scenery and props), audiences relied on the actors' lines,
dialogue, movements, and stage directions to tell the time of day and year, same as the location,
mood and weather.

Georges Bizet

Some of his stage works are:
Georges Bizet was born on October 25, 1838 – died June 3,
1875, Paris. Bizet was the only child of Adolphe Armand Bizet
(formerly a hairdresser and later became a singer and
composer) and Aimee Marie Louise Leopardine Josephine
Delsarte, a pianist. He entered the Paris Conservatory of Music
a fortnight before his tenth birthday. His first symphony, the
Symphony in C Major, was written when he was seventeen
years old the symphony had an amazing stylistic resemblance
to the music of Franz Schubert.
This French composer was a pianist and best known for his
operas. Carmen is the most popular among his works. Bizet
composed the title role for a mezzo-soprano in the character of
Carmen. The opera tells the story of the downfall of Don José,
a naïve soldier who is seduced by the charms of the sizzling
Gypsy, Carmen.

Carmen is an opera by Georges Bizet based on an 1845 novella
by French dramatist Prosper Mérimée. The title character, a wild
Spanish gypsy, is unscrupulous in matters of the law and of the
heart.
The opening scene is set in the 1830s in Seville, Spain. Carmen
attracts everyone's attention, but soldier Don José pretends not
to notice her. The flirtatious Carmen throws him a flower. He
intends to throw it away, but hides it when his girlfriend, Micaela,
arrives. A knife fight breaks out between Carmen and another
woman, and José is ordered to arrest Carmen. Thinking fast,
Carmen seduces José and escapes, which results in José's
arrest for breach of duty.

For José to be released from jail. When José arrives, Carmen rewards him with an erotic dance. As
he prepares to return to the barracks for the night, she taunts him, saying that if he really loved her,
he would run off with her. José protests and shows her that he has saved the flower she gave him as
a sign of true love. At that moment, Jose's lieutenant returns to arrest Carmen. The men fight and
are separated by Carmen's gang of smugglers. Because José has attacked a superior officer, he has
no choice but to run away with Carmen and the smugglers to the mountains.
