London
Royal Ballet - Romeo and Juliet
The greatest love story ever told – through ballet.
Shakespeare’s timeless tale of star-crossed lovers is transformed in Kenneth MacMillan’s "mesmerising" (Telegraph) ballet.
Shakespeare’s great love story is brilliantly retold through this modern ballet classic celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2025.
The fervent longing of the star-crossed lovers is perfectly captured by Kenneth MacMillan’s impassioned choreography.
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.
Perhaps most recognisable is the ‘Dance of the Knights’ – the music that accompanies the Montagues and the Capulets as they enter the ball in which the two lovers first meet.
