What is English National Ballet Romeo and Juliet about?

Passion ignites. Hatred divides. Fate intervenes. Romeo & Juliet is reimagined in this electrifying staging of Shakespeare’s most heartbreaking love story.

In Renaissance Verona, violent tensions between the Montagues and Capulets threaten to erupt into chaos. Against this backdrop of rivalry and revenge, two young lovers defy everything they’ve been born into. Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet fall instantly, desperately in love,  but can their love survive in a world ruled by conflict?

From love at first sight to its devastating final embrace, this timeless tragedy bursts into life on stage, proving why Shakespeare’s iconic play still grips, shocks and moves audiences today.
