About

It is the most famous love story in Western literature, told and retold countless times at the opera, ballet, theatre, and cinema—and Sergei Prokofiev’s 1938 Romeo and Juliet has proved a particularly enduring and adaptable setting for the beloved Shakespearean tragedy. The score, lively and ebullient, foreboding and heartrending, is a choreographer’s dream, and Ballett Zürich’s artistic director Christian Spuck’s version proves that the time-worn stories we know by heart still have much to tell us.
