Romeo and Juliet has become a great modern ballet classic of the ballet repertory since its creation by Royal Ballet Director, Kenneth MacMillan, and its premiere in 1965.
In this special screening on Valentine’s Day, the doomed lovers attempt to find their way through the colour and action of Renaissance Verona, where a busy market all too quickly bursts into sword fighting and a family feud leads to tragedy for both the Montagues and the Capulets.
The roles of Romeo and Juliet are performed by Marcelino Sambé and Anna-Rose O’Sullivan accompanied by the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House.
Music by Sergey Prokofiev with choreography by Kenneth MacMillan. Nicholas Georgiadis is the designer and John B Read as lighting designer.
