"Unforgettable hurricane of passion"
- The Daily Telegraph
Shakespeare’s heart-breaking love story is told through Nureyev’s inventive choreography with sumptuous costumes and sets that transport you to the grandeur and bustle of Renaissance Verona. Prokofiev’s exhilarating and memorable score played by the Orchestra of English National Ballet is the very heartbeat of this tragic tale of love and destiny.
From the breath-taking sword-fights between the Capulets and Montagues to the spell-binding romance of Romeo & Juliet’s balcony scene, Nureyev’s award-winning production blazes with passion.
