The 50th anniversary production of the ROMEO AND JULIET ballet is coming to the London Coliseum in January 2027.
Irresistible attraction, all-consuming passion, tragic consequences: Shakespeare’s heartbreaking tale is reimagined in a ballet that is “as vital, as alive and as stirring as can be” (The Telegraph *****).
Rudolf Nureyev created this production for Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee in 1977. Now in its 50th anniversary, this stunning ballet still has the power to grab you with its electrifying drama. From love at first sight to the final devasting embrace, the iconic story comes alive on stage.
English National Ballet Philharmonic perform Prokofiev’s dramatic score live – the power of their sound amplifying every moment.
