Romeo & Juilet

“An 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 which transport you to Renaissance Verona. The full Orchestra of
English National Ballet plays Prokofiev's exhilarating score.

From the breathtaking sword-fights of the Capulets and Montagues to the spellbinding romance of Romeo and Juliet's balcony scene, Nureyev's Romeo & Juliet blazes with passion.

 
 
60th Birthday
Rudolf Nureyev’s award-winning production of Romeo & Juliet was created for English National Ballet as their contribution to the festival marking the Queen’s Silver Jubilee in 1977. It has subsequently been performed by other international companies.

Nureyev’s production is notably faithful to Shakespeare’s play, rich in symbolism of fate and mortality. It was the second of five versions danced by English National Ballet, it was also Nureyev’s second production for English National Ballet after he mounted his Sleeping Beauty two years earlier. These productions inaugurated a period when Nureyev was very closely involved with the Company.
