What is the importance of the opening scene in Romeo and Juliet?

It catches the attention of the audience (there's nothing like a brawl to do that) and lays the groundwork for the idea that the Capulets and Montagues are such bitter enemies that they go around (well, the Capulets do anyway) looking for a chance to start a fight.
The scene also introduces us to Romeo, one of the main characters, but Shakespeare cleverly delays this until he is sure that he will have everyone's attention.
