Shakespeare’s heart-breaking tale is reimagined in a ballet burning with intensity.
Renaissance Italy, city of Verona. Tensions run high between the Montagues and the Capulets as the families stand on the brink of violence.
Against the backdrop of simmering hatred, fate intervenes: love blooms across the divide. Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet fall desperately in love. Can young love survive in a world ruled by conflict?
Created nearly 50 years ago for Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee, Rudolf Nureyev’s Romeo & Juliet still has the power to grab you with its electrifying drama. From love at first sight to the final devastating embrace, the iconic story comes alive on stage. English National Ballet Philharmonic perform Prokofiev’s dramatic score live – the power of their sound amplifying every moment.
