The Royal Ballet | Romeo and Juliet

Kenneth MacMillan
Thu 20 Mar and Sun 27 Apr

The most moving love story of all time in a ballet interpretation. An old family feud casts a long shadow over the city of Verona. Due to the rising tensions, fights soon break out in which both families suffer heavy losses.

The Capulets and the Montagues are sworn enemies. But it is love at first sight between Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet when they meet at the Capulet ball, which Romeo has sneaked into. The two fall in love and confess their love for each other on Juliet's balcony. They marry in secret. Things become dangerous for the young couple when Romeo avenges the death of his friend Mercutio, who was murdered by Tybalt, Juliet's cousin. As a result, Romeo is banished from Verona. Meanwhile, Juliet's parents force her to marry another suitor. In order to be together, Romeo and Juliet must risk their lives.
