English National Ballet (ENB)

English National Ballet brings the world’s greatest love story to the stage with Rudolf Nureyev’s inventive and passionate choreography and Prokofiev’s exhilarating score performed live.

Sumptuous costumes and sets transport you 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, star-crossed lovers meet, unleashing a fateful sequence of events, from the romantic night scene to their tragic final embrace.

Full of action, humour and drama, Rudolf Nureyev’s award-winning production of Romeo & Juliet was especially created for English National Ballet in 1977 to celebrate the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. The Company has since performed it worldwide to critical acclaim.
