Romeo & Juliet
Ballet Victoria
Project Description
A full-length ballet following the vein of the Shakespearean tragedy - intense power, unbridled love, incredible dancing, and dramatic swordplay. Using Prokofiev's beautiful score, this choreography delivers a contemporary flair to an iconic work to stir your heart and soul.
