Event Details

Resident Choreographer Elizabeth Wistrich creates a lavish production based on Shakespeare’s epic tale of Romeo and Juliet. In the ballet, two teenagers from warring families meet, fall in love, and rush headlong toward their destiny. The magnificent scenery and costumes evoke Renaissance Italy and Sergei Prokofiev’s lush score, played by the City Ballet Orchestra, brings this classic love story thrillingly to life. Ballet storytelling at its best.

Pre-performance lecture by City Ballet Artistic Director Steven Wistrich starts 45 minutes prior to the start of the performance.
