Ballet: Romeo and Juliet

Shakespeare’s moving love story has inspired countless interpretations.

Romeo and Juliet has been performed at the Royal Swedish Opera more than 180 times. This masterpiece of dramatic ballet, with its vivid characters, vibrating duets and large ensemble numbers, is finally back!
