Program

One of the greatest story ballets, with live music performed by the City Ballet Orchestra.

Romeo & Juliet

Resident Choreographer Elizabeth Wistrich created a lavish production based on Shakespeare’s epic tale of Romeo and Juliet. In the ballet, two teenagers from warring families meet, fall in love, and rush headlong toward their destiny. The magnificent scenery and costumes evoke Renaissance Italy and Sergei Prokofiev’s lush score, played by the City Ballet Orchestra, brings this classic love story thrillingly to life. Ballet storytelling at its best.
