Production:: (T1243954915)

Approx running time: 3 hours. Revival sponsored (2001) by The British Land Company PLC and The Friends of Covent Garden. As part of the international celebration of Kenneth MacMillan. Revival sponsored (2001) by The British Land Company plc and The Friends of Covent Garden. Shakespeare's tragedy of star-crossed lovers has inspired generations of leading artists from Gounod to Peggy Ashcroft to Baz Luhrman; Kenneth MacMillan is no exception. Marrying the play and Prokofiev's passionate, brooding score, he produced a classic of 20th Century choreography and one of The Royal Ballet's most popular works, all the more remarkable considering that it was his first full-length ballet. Using Nicholas Georgiadis dramatic designs, reworked in the newly opened Royal Opera House, this ballet provides pas de deux of startling lyrical beauty that are danced against a spectacular and forceful portrait of Renaissance Italy.
