About Romeo and Juliet
With its compelling storytelling that always hits the heart, Cranko’s Romeo and Juliet is a majestic vision of Shakespeare’s play.
Capturing the fierce clashes of rival families against the luminous flare of young love, the choreography is driven by Sergei Prokofiev’s dramatic score. Jürgen Rose’s opulent design flaunts the pageantry of medieval Verona, contrasting the heavy splendour of the aristocratic elder generation with the billowing fabrics of the teenage lovers' carefree romance.
Cranko’s Romeo and Juliet binds artists and audiences in a profound emotional experience. From the first flush of romance to its final heartbreaking finale, you’ll be captivated by the eternal symbol of love at its most pure, rare and precious that is Romeo and his Juliet.
