The Royal Ballet & Opera present an encore screening of Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet - Kenneth Macmillan's mesmerising ballet
Shakespeare’s timeless tale of star-crossed lovers is transformed in Kenneth MacMillan’s mesmerising ballet. The flourishing of young love is just as present in Romeo and Juliet's meeting on the balcony as in their final moments when they desperately cling to life in the tomb. Prokofiev’s evocative music sets the scene for stolen romantic moments and deadly feuds and sweeps the ballet towards its inevitable and tragic conclusion.
Approximate run time 2 hours and 50 minutes with two intervals.
