English subtitles for Romeo & Juliet Italian media
Giulietta e Romeo: Opera Popolare
Giulietta e Romeo was an Italian musical created around 2006 and which made its first appearance in the Arena of Verona the 1st June 2007. Music and lyrics were created by Riccardo Cocciante (Notre Dame de Paris) and Pasquale Pannella. We all know the plot, it didn’t change, but it had some very well done costumes and scenes (like Tybalt trying to kill Romeo and Mercutio putting himself between them) and the character of Mercutio was the narrator (he is the one to show to the public the setting of the musical and how Romeo and Juliet fall in love).
The official audio cd didn’t have all the songs and the musical disappeared after June 2008, promising to return after a break of a year, but it never did and even the actors and acresses didn’t know exacty if it has been cancelled or what else. |
I have translated all the lyrics in English and tried to look for different versions of each song in a youtube video. You can find act 1 at this page and act 2 here.
Romeo e Giulietta: 2014 mediaset miniserie
Romeo e Giulietta is a two episodes Italian miniseries which aired on mediaset in 2014. You can watch it here on the website (not sure if it works outside Italy) or, even better!, you can buy the dvds from here.
I am not sure if the dvds have subtitles (if someone knows, please, let me know) so I decided to translate the two episodes in English. I am not an English native speaker and these subtitles were really written in a rush, so I apologize for all the mistakes but I hope they will be useful anyway. EPISODE ONE + EPISODE TWO |
Romeo e Giulietta: Ama e Cambia il mondo
This is the Italian version of the famous French musical Romeo et Juliette. There are some minor differences between the two versions, a part from Tybalt who is quite different in the Italian one and has even some extra song.
I wrote the subtitles with phoebemontague, and carmarthenfan beta read them. Then I synced the subtitles with a popular video recorded the 2nd of October (which was on youtube at the time). SUBTITLES HERE This musical arrived in Italy the 2nd of October, in Verona, at the famous Arena. This production was filmed for tv the 3rd of October in this video. And in case you were wondering, the tragedy that the producer and the director talk about at the very end of the show is this one. |
