    Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers encounter passion and tragedy in Kenneth MacMillan's 20th-century ballet masterpiece, screened live around the world and on BP Big Screens on 11 June 2019. Subscribe to our channel and find encore screenings near you www.roh.org.uk/showings/romeo...
    Deborah MacMillan, Matthew Ball, Yasmine Naghdi and Gary Avis discuss their experience of rehearsing and performing in this dramatic and tragic ballet.
    Kenneth MacMillan's passionate choreography for Romeo and Juliet shows The Royal Ballet at its dramatic finest. Sergey Prokofiev's iconic score provides the basis for the ballet's romantic pas de deux and vibrant crowd scenes, while 16th-century Verona is created by Nicholas Georgiadis's magnificent designs.
    In 1965, MacMillan's Romeo and Juliet was given its premiere at Covent Garden by The Royal Ballet and was an immediate success: the first night was met with rapturous applause, which lasted for 40 minutes, and an incredible 43 curtain calls. The title roles were danced by Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn, although the ballet had been created on Christopher Gable and Lynn Seymour. It has been performed by The Royal Ballet more than four hundred times since, as well as touring the world, and has become a true classic of the 20th-century ballet repertory.

    12/06/2019 ... I felt so fortunate to have watched the perfprmance transmitted by satellite to our local cinema here in Sitges, Barcelona last night!
    You could hear a pin drop in the cinema! - What was being projected was so unutterably BEAUTIFUL.
    - At the outset, just the colours and costumes told us what we were in for!
    - But I had no idea what we we going to experience.
    The truth is, there is no language ANYWHERE to explain what it was we saw!
    BEAUTY totally overcame the pride and vanity of VIRTUOSITY in every single respect - I cannot explain it any better, and I was left, unashamedly in tears!
    - This was the TRAGEDY and TRIUMPH of LOVE as I have never before ever seen portrayed!
    The delicacy of natural understatement and lightness was SUPERB!!!
    B+R+A+V+O to all concerned at Covent Garden!!!
    - And Shakespeare knew a thing or two in writing this play!, for sure!!

    These dancers, the Royal Ballet, don't have to be told to express emotion! Unlike the rehearsals of the English National Ballet, where the director is so frustrated that they have the technique but don't understand you must convey feeling, too! Where is Mayara Magri?
