Various - Prokofiev: Romeo & Juliet

With passionate choreography, spine-tingling swordsmanship, and a celebrated score by Sergei Prokofiev, San Francisco Ballet�s passionate retelling of the Bard�s greatest tragedy has packed houses around the world. Romeo & Juliet is one of the company�s most popular and widely toured ballets and has been seen by more than 200,000 people since it premiered in 1994. Choreographed by Helgi Tomasson, with sets and costumes by Jens-Jacob Worsaae, this visually stunning production and the brilliant dancers of SF Ballet bring this powerful and touching tragedy � and Renaissance-era Verona � vividly to life. �Tomasson lifts Shakespeare�s complex and familiar language off the gilded pages and translates it into lucid classical choreography that is visceral, fresh, and ultimately sublime� (Huffington Post).
