English National Ballet (ENB)

English National Ballet, winner of the award for Outstanding Company at the 2016 National Dance Awards, brings the world’s greatest love story to Bristol Hippodrome.

Full of action, humour and drama, Rudolf Nureyev’s award-winning production based on Shakespeare’s heart-breaking tale makes a triumphant return for its 40th anniversary year.

Sumptuous costumes and sets transport you to Renaissance Verona. 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.

Nureyev’s inventive and passionate choreography is accompanied by Prokofiev’s exhilarating score performed live by English National Ballet Philharmonic.
