Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet is probably the world's best-known love story and the ballet version of the tragic tale is set to Prokofiev's dramatic score, widely recognised as a masterpiece of 20th century music.

In Victor Smirnov-Golovanov's staging, all the hustle and bustle of Renaissance Verona is brought vividly to life in this fast-moving, powerful production. Faithful to Shakespeare's original text, the ballet follows the fate of the star-crossed lovers from their first meeting to their untimely, tragic deaths.
