Romeo and Juliet
Inspired by the talents of this young and dynamic company, Prokovsky presents a fast-moving version of Shakespeare’s classic story of Verona’s star-crossed lovers, reducing it to two acts and focusing specifically on Romeo, Juliet, Mercutio and Tybalt. The dancers are light, fleet of foot and stylish. With Prokofiev’s exquisite score performed by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia and Alexandre Vassilev’s Rennaissance costumes, this is a romantic yet poignant variation on an old favourite.
