From breathtaking lifts to heart-stopping sword fights, this ballet brings Shakespeare’s timeless tale to life in the most beautiful way. In a world where their love is forbidden, Romeo and Juliet share a kiss that defies their families and fate.
This great Shakespearean tragedy is brought to life by the late Tom Pazik, the choreographer who created DANB’s “Carmina Burana.” The heartbreaking feud between the Capulets and Montagues results in the doomed lovers’ deaths and a sad reconciliation for the families. Would that the world could learn from the Bard’s story.
