Shakespeare's timeless story about love under a bad star is transformed into a mesmerizing ballet opus in Kenneth MacMillan's interpretation. The budding young love is tangible both during Rome and Julia's encounter on the balcony scene and during their last moments when they desperately fight for their lives in the grave. Prokofiev's moving score provides a worthy stage for secret romantic moments and deadly battles, on which the ballet comes to its inevitable and tragic end.
