A special screening of the ballet Romeo and Juliet performed by the Royal Opera House.
Since its 1965 premiere with the Royal Ballet, choreographer Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet has become a great modern ballet classic of the world repertory. the nuanced and detailed choreography gives dancers in the lead roles (Marcelino Sambé, Anna-Rose O’Sullivan) a wealth of opportunity for differing interpretations of the doomed lovers. Evocative designs by Nicholas Georgiadis bring the color 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. Prokofiev’s ravishing score sweeps this dramatic ballet towards its inevitable, emotional end.
