Summary
English National Ballet returns Rudolf Nureyev’s production of Prokofiev’s tragedy to the stage, featuring the full company performing to the composer's cinematic score.
Why it's fantastic
Rudolf Nureyev’s cinematic choreography brings a gritty, visceral edge to the famous street fights and balcony scenes of Verona. With Prokofiev’s driving score providing the pulse, this production captures the raw tension of young love better than almost any other version, making the three-hour runtime feel surprisingly swift.
