As day breaks, Romeo, son of Montague, is found declaring his love to the fair Rosaline. With the sunrise the marketplace fills with townspeople, among whom are members of the two rival families, the Capulets and the Montagues. Tempers flare and a quarrel develops. The Duke of Verona appears and warns the two factions that death will be the ultimate punishment if the feud does not stop. Romeo and his friends, Benvolio and Mercutio, make reluctant peace with Tybalt, a kinsman of the Capulets.

Guests appear for the Capulets’ ball, among them Rosaline. Romeo and his friends, masked, follow her to the ball.
