The world’s most famous love story

John Cranko interprets Shakespeare’s immortal text into a beloved classical ballet.

With its compelling storytelling that always hits the heart, Cranko’s Romeo and Juliet is a majestic vision of Shakespeare’s play, performed by The Australian Ballet’s exceptional company of dancers. Capturing the fierce clashes of rival families against the luminous flare of young love, the choreography is driven by Sergei Prokofiev’s dramatic score.

From the first flush of romance to its heartbreaking finale, you’ll be captivated by the eternal symbol of love at its most pure, rare and precious that is Romeo and his Juliet.

... emotionally compelling and psychologically taut.

★★★★

Gasps and laughs at pivotal moments show the audience is rambunctious and ready to feast their eyes on a familiar story of heartbreak. The ballet delivers on this promise.
