Romeo and Juliet
description Romeo and Juliet Overview
Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet is a masterpiece of 20th-century narrative ballet. It captures the intensity of Shakespeare's play through a complex, dissonant, and deeply moving score. Choreographers like Kenneth MacMillan and John Cranko have created definitive versions that emphasize the psychological development of the young lovers. The ballet is renowned for its sweeping, romantic pas de deux and its visceral, realistic fight scenes.
It is a cornerstone of the modern repertoire, demanding as much from the dancers' acting abilities as it does from their classical technique.
