Kenneth MacMillan’s romantic masterpiece returns to set hearts alight. Shakespeare’s legendary tale takes us to Renaissance Italy where a young star-crossed couple fall in love on the streets of fair Verona. Amidst violence, passion, and feuding families, Romeo and Juliet’s love is immediate and intense, with tragedy following rapidly behind. MacMillan’s stunning and much-adored Shakespearean ballet is brought to life with passionate choreography, elegant costumes, striking sets, and Prokofiev’s iconic score. This beautiful rendition remains one of our largest and most ambitious productions of all time. Romeo & Juliet is the unmissable ballet event of the year.
