Romeo and Juliet: Royal Ballet Live

Shakespeare’s timeless tale of star-crossed lovers is transformed in Kenneth MacMillan’s. mesmerising ballet. The flourishing of young love is just as present in Romeo and Juliet's meeting on the balcony as in their final moments when they desperately cling to life in the tomb. Prokofiev’s evocative music sets the scene for stolen romantic moments and deadly feuds and sweeps the ballet towards its inevitable and tragic conclusion.
