Romeo & Juliet description
Love ballet? Adore Shakespeare? Combine the two with a dazzling English National Ballet production of Romeo & Juliet, back in the capital to mark its 50th anniversary. Originally created by the legendary Rudolf Nureyev for the queen's 1977 Silver Jubilee, this extraordinary show has entered history as one of ballet's greatest. If a potent blend of passion and tragedy appeals to you, you're not alone. The iconic story has been captivating audiences since William Shakespeare wrote it in the 1590s, a plot that never grows old. Add a magnificent venue, the London Coliseum, to the equation, plus live music from the English National Ballet Philharmonic, and you can see why we predict a sell-out.
Prokofiev's soaring score, the brilliant Dance of the Knights, the way the youngsters fall in love at first sight, the backdrop of hatred and violence, and the final devastating embrace are brought together in a sumptuous production. Don't miss this iconic story as it comes alive on stage in London. Choreography and Staging by Rudolf Nureyev joins Ezio Frigerio's Set Design, Ezio Frigerio and Franca Squarciapinos' gorgeous Costume Design, and Tharon Musser's Lighting Design to create gasp-out-loud magic.
