Description

Raised to the status of myth by Shakespeare, the story of Romeo and Juliet had to await the 20th century before being embodied in a ballet thanks to the music of Sergei Prokofiev in 1935.

In his production created for the Paris Opera Ballet in 1984, Rudolf Nureyev transformed this brilliant, energetic score into a sumptuous, particularly cinematic version.

His choreography focuses on the young Romeo's passage into manhood thanks to a passionate Juliet who tragically enters adulthood.

Ball scenes, youthful provocations and duels in a magnificently reconstructed Italian Renaissance lend body, depth and power to the passion of the lovers of Verona at odds with the ancestral hatreds of their families.
