Romeo And Juliet takes pride of place among full-length 20th-century ballets. Kenneth MacMillan’s interpretation of the young couple’s doomed love is one of the greatest examples of 20th century choreography.

Beautifully staged with rich period costumes and designs, Romeo And Juliet draws audiences into its intense drama with some of the finest of today’s dancers matched to the powerful sounds of Prokofiev’s famous music. Margot Fonteyn danced in the ballet’s premiere, and since then there hasn’t been a single ballerina who hasn’t craved to add her name to the illustrious Juliet roll call.

This revival of Romeo And Juliet by The Royal Ballet brings all the lyrical beauty and touching fluidity of its intimate moments for the two lovers along with the grandeur of the ball scene and the action-packed encounters of the opposing Montagues and Capulets.

Romeo And Juliet is a classic of the international ballet repertory and a favourite of Royal Ballet audiences.
