Since its 1965 premiere with The Royal Ballet, Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet has become a modern ballet classic. The choreography captures the passions of the young couple as they fall in love despite the barriers that keep their families apart. Each revival provides opportunities for talented new dancers to interpret the doomed lovers as the whole company evokes the vibrant color and action of Renaissance Verona, where a busy market scene quickly bursts into the setting for tragedy.
