“[Kenneth MacMillan’s] Romeo and Juliet is built on a core of emotional truth, and its choreography does not age. Instead, every cast sees the work born anew.” —The Guardian
“…a heartening, rousing triumph.” —The Telegraph
Considered one of The Royal Ballet’s signature works, Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet brings together Shakespeare’s tragic love story and Prokofiev’s passionate, heartrending score. Performed hundreds of times since its 1965 premiere with some of the world’s finest ballet dancers in the leading roles, this production now comes to the screen from London’s Royal Opera House.
