Romeo and Juliet - St. Petersburg Ballet Theatre




Set in medieval Verona to Prokofiev's emotional musical score, William Shakespeare's enduring tale of passion, murder, feud and tragedy is brought to life as a full-length ballet with lavish costumes, breathtaking sets and thrilling fight scenes. Founded 25 years ago in the birthplace of Russian classical ballet, the St. Petersburg Ballet Theatre follows in the tradition of great dancers who mesmerize audiences with their extraordinary athletic agility and their expressive lyrical movements.
