What's it about

The classic Shakespeare tale of lovers marked by a tragic destiny is transformed into the intoxicating ballet by Kenneth MacMillan. The blossoming of youthful love is as present in the encounter of Romeo and Juliet on the balcony as in their final moments, when they desperately cling to life in the tomb. The evocative music by Prokofiev sets the scene for stolen romantic moments and mortal enmities, and drives the ballet to its tragic and inevitable conclusion.
