The greatest love story ever told is back – as Northern Ballet’s electrifying production returns.


In the ultimate tale of forbidden love, two young people risk everything to be together.

This raw and emotionally charged adaptation of Romeo & Juliet breathes new life into Shakespeare’s masterpiece. Passion and violence are at work in the streets of Verona, with tragedy following swiftly behind.

Every leap, every turn, every heartbeat invites you to rediscover this iconic story like it’s the very first time, as the lovers fight to kindle their flame against the turmoil around them.

Adapted by Christopher Gable CBE and Massimo Moricone, Romeo & Juliet is one of Northern Ballet’s most beloved and critically acclaimed productions. With glorious dancers, eye-catching sets and Prokofiev’s timeless music, this is ballet at its most dramatic, romantic and intense.
