Royal Opera House Encore: Romeo and Juliet

Certificate
12A
Running Time
180 mins

Kenneth MacMillan‘s ballet was premiered at the Royal Opera House in 1965 and has been a staple of the Royal Ballet repertoire ever since, clocking up more than 400 performances. It’s an evergreen treat for hoofing newcomers and aficionados of 20th century ballet alike, skilfully matching Prokofiev’s score to the bard’s timeless tale of star-crossed lovers.

The ballet is broadcast live to local cinemas, with encore screenings to follow.
