The ultimate love story of passion and fate.Passion and tragedy take center stage in February with Romeo and Juliet—a ballet of love, longing, and fate. Shakespeare’s timeless story unfolds through breathtaking choreography by Francesco Ventriglia, the power of Sergei Prokofiev’s score, and the splendor of three-time Academy Award-winning designer, James Acheson (The Last Emperor, Dangerous Liaisons, Restoration). From the thrill of the curtain rising to the heartbreaking final moment, every scene speaks volumes, turning ballet into pure emotion.
Ballet at its finest draws you deep into the story, where a single gesture expresses devotion, and a final embrace shatters your heart. Ventriglia’s choreography and Acheson’s Renaissance designs transport you to fair Verona, where love defies family and fate. Packed with grand duets, electrifying sword fights, and a haunting stillness, Romeo and Juliet is a masterclass in movement and storytelling.
Embrace the month of love with this ballet’s ultimate artistry. Feel the passion, witness the spectacle, and let this legendary love story sweep you away.
