Romeo und Julia

Show & Culture

Shakespeare’s timeless story of star-crossed love becomes a hypnotic ballet opus in Kenneth MacMillan’s interpretation. The budding young love is palpable both when Romeo and Julia meet in the balcony scene and during their final moments, as they desperately struggle for their lives in the tomb. Prokofjev’s moving score provides a fitting setting for the secret romantic moments and deadly fights as the ballet moves towards its inevitable, tragic ending.
