Set to Prokofiev’s magnificent score, the most famous love story of all time is presented in its original version by Leonid Lavrovsky and remains one of the most cherished ballets in the Kirov’s repertoire.

Embodying the drama and passion of Shakespeare’s text, the ballet portrays the bittersweet love of the star-crossed lovers from their first fateful meeting to their untimely and tragic deaths.
