This 2003 performance of Georges Bizet's 19th century opera Carmen was produced and directed by filmmaker and stage director Franco Zeffirelli, best known to many for the Academy Award-winning big-screen adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Shot at the Arena di Verona, the production features Marina Domashenko in the title role and music by the Orchestra of the Arena di Verona under conductor Alain Lombard.

Verona Gay Kiss Scene (John Bregar and Shannon Kook-Chun) - Verona is the story of two young lovers separated by their rival fraternities. Set in a small college town wherein young men are groomed for corporate success in All-American hyper competitive fashion, Verona presents the fate of star-crossed lovers in a society that condemns the very nature of their love. Verona features Degrassi stars John Bregar and Shannon Kook-Chun and SAW VII 3D & Queer as Folk star Dean Armstrong and more. This post-modern retelling of the greatest love story ever told brings to light the homophobic/homo-erotic dual nature of fraternity life, its perks and perils. VERONA (The Short) was produced and shot in the Fall of 2009 with the intentions of securing distribution and financing for the full-length feature.

索尼影业最近准备买下电影剧本《维罗纳》（Verona），这个由尼尔·怀德纳（Neil Widener）和加文·詹姆斯（Gavin James）共同创作的剧本以一种全新的方式演绎了经典的莎士比亚戏剧《罗密欧与朱丽叶》（Romeo and Juliet），据说风格酷似《三百斯巴达勇士》（300）。 莎士比亚的《罗密欧与朱丽叶》讲述了维罗纳城里的两大世仇家族中，一对年轻男女的爱情悲剧，千百年来不断被人们以各种方式演绎着，其中尤属莱奥纳多·迪卡普里奥主演、巴兹 ·鲁曼执导的那部把故事搬到现代的《罗密欧与朱丽叶》（Romeo+Juliet）最大胆。但是这一次“300-style”的《罗密欧与朱丽叶》一出，看来是要把前浪拍死在沙滩上了。 《300》是扎克·施耐德（Zack Snyder）拍摄的一部古装动作片，根据弗兰克·米勒（Frank Miller）漫画改编，电影继承了漫画的视觉美学，画面灰暗阴郁，还有极具风格化的慢动作。 电影《维罗纳》（Verona）将由乔·罗斯（Joe Roth）担任制片，他也是两部童话电影《爱丽丝梦游仙境2》（Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass）和《白雪公主与猎人前传》（The Huntsman）的制片人。

Angelo, a glass-blower from Murano, and Georgia Maglia, the pretty daughter of a fallen fascist magistrate, are chosen to be the stand-ins for the stars of a film version of "Romeo and Juliet" being shot on location in Venice and Verona. It is not long before they fall in love and their romance parallels that of Shakespeare's timeless heroes. Indeed their union is threatened by the schemings of Raffaele, the Maglia family's dubious tout...

本片法国ESMA学校的4个学生Mathieu Arnoux, Hugo Cierzniak, Bruce Nguyen Van Lan and Aymeric Palermo共同完成。本片的场景让人很容易联想到美剧《越狱》（←会吗！？），片中主角的造型也有几分相似之处。本片情节幽默，制作精良。
