Sizzling with emotion and drama, let the age-old story bewitch you once more (or, for the first time) in this historic staging from the legendary ballet star.

Fair Verona, Where We Lay Our Scene...

In 16th-century Verona, there are heated tensions between sworn enemies, the Montagues and the Capulets. Their vicious hatred of one another is famed throughout the city, as is their often fatal swordplay. Romeo, the youngest of the Montague clan, is depressed after falling for a girl who spurned his advances. Persuaded by his cousin Tybalt, he sneaks into a Capulet ball in the hopes of finding her. That is, until he sees Juliet and falls deeply and immediately in love. So begins a tale that has gone on to become our greatest, tragic story of young love doomed from the start.
