The Paris Opera & Ballet Romeo and Juliet

Unable to escape their families’ feud, Romeo and Juliet become entangled in a plot that takes a fateful turn. Created for the Paris Opera Ballet in 1984, when Nureyev was the renowned company’s dancer and chief choreographer, Romeo and Juliet masterfully conveys both the beauty and tragedy that fuels Shakespeare’s classical tale, and has become the standard in ballet repertoire around the world.
