Event details

Romeo & Juliet

The greatest love story ever told is back – as Northern Ballet’s electrifying production returns.

In the ultimate tale of forbidden love, two young people risk everything to be together.

Adapted by Christopher Gable and Massimo Moricone, Romeo & Juliet is one of Northern Ballet’s most beloved and critically acclaimed productions. Every leap, every turn, every heartbeat breathes new life into Shakespeare’s masterpiece and invites you to rediscover the iconic love story like it’s the very first time.

With glorious dancers, eye-catching sets and Prokofiev’s timeless music this is ballet at its most dramatic, romantic and intense.

This piece is set to recorded music and does not feature a live orchestra.
