Romeo & Juliet (Paris Opera Ballet 2026 - 2027)

Broadway Cinemas is proud to exclusively present the Paris Opera Ballet's spectacular 2026-2027 season! Kicking this season off are two world-renowned ballet classics coming straight to the big screen: Romeo and Juliet and Swan Lake. In Verona, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet meet and fall deeply in love, but their two families are bound by ancient hatred. Driven by a passion as powerful as it is impossible, the two lovers face a tragic fate that unites them forever. Elevated to myth by Shakespeare, the story of Romeo and Juliet had to wait until the 20th century to become a ballet, thanks to Sergei Prokofiev's music in 1935. In his production created for the Paris Opera Ballet in 1984, Rudolf Nureyev brought this brilliant and energetic score to life in a lavish, cinematic version. His choreography focuses on the transformation of young Romeo into a man, alongside a passionate Juliet who tragically comes of age. Ball scenes, youthful rivalries and duels set against a magnificently recreated Italian Renaissance bring depth and power to the story of the lovers of Verona, caught between their families' ancient hatred.
