Immerse yourself in a world of “transcendent beauty and sumptuous intentions as well as dark and violent impulse” with Helgi Tomasson’s bravura interpretation of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet captured at the San Francisco Ballet.

With its passionate choreography, spine-tingling swordsmanship, and celebrated score by Sergei Prokofiev, this passionate re-telling of Shakespeare’s heartbreaking tragedy is a signature production for the ballet company and an eternal favourite with audiences around the world.

“Tomasson lifts Shakespeare’s complex and familiar language off the gilded pages and translates it into lucid classical choreography that is visceral, fresh, and ultimately sublime.” (Huffington Post)
