La Tragédie d'Othello - L'Africain de Venise

Mais lors d'un bal, Roméo Montague croise le regard de Juliette Capulet.

Roméo et Juliette

Das Theater war gedrängt voll; ein neuangeworbener Sänger gab den Don Juan. Das Parterre wogte, von oben gesehen, wie die unruhige See, und die Federn und Schleier der Damen tauchten wie schimmernde Fische aus den dunkeln Massen. Die Ranglogen waren reicher als je, denn mit dem Anfang der Wintersaison war eine kleine Trauer eingefallen, und heute zum erstenmal drangen wieder die schimmernden Farben der reichen Turbans, der wehenden Büsche, der bunten Schals an das Licht hervor. Wie glänzend sich aber auch der reiche Kranz von Damen um das Amphitheater zog, das Diadem dieses Kreises schien ein herrliches, liebliches Bild zu sein, das aus der fürstlichen Loge freundlich und hold die Welt um und unter sich überschaute. Man war versucht zu wünschen, dieses schöne Kind möchte nicht so hoch geboren sein, denn diese frische Farbe, diese heitere Stirne, diese kindlich reinen, milden Augen, dieser holde Mund war zur Liebe-nicht zur Verehrung aus der Ferne geschaffen. Und wunderbar, wie wenn Prinzessin Sophie diesen frevelhaften Gedanken geahnet hätte-auch ihr Anzug entsprach diesem Bilde einfacher, natürlicher Schönheit; sie schien jeden Schmuck, den die Kunst verleiht, dem stolzen Damenkreis überlassen zu haben.

Macbeth

Promised a golden future as ruler of Scotland by three sinister witches, Macbeth murders the king to ensure his ambitions come true. But he soon learns the meaning of terror - killing once, he must kill again and again, and the dead return to haunt him. A story of war, witchcraft and bloodshed, Macbeth also depicts the relationship between husbands and wives, and the risks they are prepared to take to achieve their desires.

Othello, a Moorish captain, secretly falls in love with and marries Desdemona, the daughter of a Venetian nobleman. While the two live happily at first, a spurned suitor of Desdemona's and Iago, an ambitious officer under Othello's command, plan to tear the couple apart out of revenge for perceived slights suffered at their hands. Known as "The Bard of Avon, " William Shakespeare is arguably the greatest English-language writer known. Enormously popular during his life, Shakespeare's works continue to resonate more than three centuries after his death, as has his influence on theatre and literature. Shakespeare's innovative use of character, language, and experimentation with romance as tragedy served as a foundation for later playwrights and dramatists, and some of his most famous lines of dialogue have become part of everyday speech.
