Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet
SHAKESPEARE’S STAR-CROSSED LOVERS ENCOUNTER PASSION
AND TRAGEDY IN KENNETH MACMILLAN’S 20TH-CENTURY BALLET
MASTERPIECE.
Shakespeare’s enduring love story is known the world over. Since its 1965 premiere with The Royal Ballet, Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet has become a modern ballet classic. The choreography captures the emotions of the young couple as they fall in love despite the barriers that finally bring about the story’s tragic end. Each revival gives opportunities for new dancers to interpret the doomed lovers. The whole Company brings the color and action of Renaissance Verona, where a busy market all too quickly bursts into violence and a family feud leads to tragedy for both the Montagues and Capulets.
