RETURNING to Bristol in its 40th anniversary year, Rudolf Nureyev’s Romeo and Juliet will be performed by English National Ballet at the Bristol Hippodrome from November 21-25 following critically acclaimed performances in London.

The world’s greatest love story, Romeo and Juliet, sees audiences transported to Renaissance Verona, its piazza bustling with market traders, street entertainers and the restless factions of the Capulet and Montague families. Amidst the grandeur of the Capulet's ball, our star-crossed lovers meet, unleashing a fateful sequence of events, from the romantic bedroom scene to their tragic final embrace.

Featuring inventive and passionate choreography, and set to Prokofiev’s famous score, performed live by the English National Ballet Philharmonic, these performances mark the 40th anniversary of the production, which was originally created for English National Ballet in 1977 to celebrate the Queen’s Silver Jubilee.

To coincide with Romeo and Juliet, English National Ballet will host a range of workshops and events, aimed to provide a gateway into the world of ballet. Activities include on-stage dance workshops, Live Drawing, and behind-the-scenes talks for all ages. For more details, see www.ballet.org.uk/whats-on
