about this event
Romeo and Juliet has become a great modern ballet
classic of the ballet repertory since its creation by Royal Ballet Director
Kenneth MacMillan and its premiere in 1965. The doomed lovers attempt to find
their way through the colour and action of Renaissance Verona, where a busy
market all too quickly bursts into sword fighting and a family feud leads to
tragedy for both the Montagues and the Capulets.
