English National Ballet - Romeo & Juliet
One of the greatest love stories ever told.
Irresistible attraction, all-consuming passion, tragic consequences: Shakespeare’s heartbreaking tale is reimagined in a ballet that is “as vital, as alive and as stirring as can be” (The Telegraph ★★★★★).
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?
Rudolf Nureyev created this production for Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee in 1977. Now in its 50th anniversary year, this stunning ballet returns to the London Coliseum, where it first premiered.
With its electrifying drama, Romeo & Juliet still has the power to grab you. From love at first sight to the final devasting embrace, the iconic story comes alive on stage.
English National Ballet Philharmonic perform Prokofiev’s soaring score live, including the unforgettable Dance of the Knights – the power of their sound amplifying every moment.
