Romeo and Juliet

The stunning ballet, which combines delicate duets with fast-paced, even humorous scenes is guaranteed to delight adult audiences. 

John Cranko’s legendary Romeo and Juliet makes a much-anticipated comeback to the Finnish National Ballet after being absent for nearly a decade. Shakespeare’s immortal story about the young lovers of Verona has inspired artists throughout the ages, and John Cranko’s choreography to Sergei Prokofiev’s impactful music is one of its most popular ballet interpretations.

The tragic story of the star-crossed lovers from two rival families has touched the entire world since Shakespeare’s times.
