American Ballet Theatre Romeo & Juliet

Sir Kenneth MacMillan's masterful interpretation of Shakespeare's enduring romantic tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, entered American Ballet Theatre’s repertoire in 1985 and has since become one of the Company's signature productions. Against the sumptuous setting of Renaissance Italy, MacMillan weaves a dance tapestry rich in character nuance and sensuality, while Sergei Prokofiev's stirring music underscores the lyric beauty and passion of this beloved ballet's star-crossed lovers.
