Romeo & Juliet

“Runacre-Temple taps into a zeitgeist so many other ballet companies desperately want to access right now, making relevant what is often seen as an elitist art form while still honouring its roots.…… Runacre-Temple gets it, and Ballet Ireland fortuitously has gotten a head start on discovering and nurturing her talent.”

Christie Seaver, Irish Times

★★★★★ “I can’t remember seeing a better Ballet Ireland production than this one… Shakespeare’s story goes to new heights…a breathless mixture of youthful passion, love and lust”
Michael Moffatt, Mail on Sunday

★★★★ “Romeo and Juliet has moments of genuine beauty, with dazzling displays of choreographic flow that border on genius.”
Chris O’Rourke, The Arts Review

Against a backdrop of ancient feuds and gang warfare, two souls dare to love. Inspired by Shakespeare’s legendary tale of star-crossed lovers, Romeo & Juliet is a gripping story of passion, defiance, and fate.

Romeo and Juliet are drawn into a love so powerful they defy everything around them – including their own families. But in a world where loyalty is demanded and vengeance reigns, their love comes at a devastating cost.

Set to Prokofiev’s powerful and soaring score, this stunning production blends exquisite choreography with raw emotion, sweeping audiences into a story where every glance, every movement, and every moment plunges our two young lovers into a whirlwind of desire, danger, and heartbreak.

How far would you go for love… when everything is at stake?

A timeless tale. A powerful score. An unforgettable experience. Don’t miss this extraordinary production – book your tickets and experience Romeo & Juliet live on stage.
