Texas Ballet Theater presents Romeo & Juliet

Ben Stevenson’s masterful adaptation brings Shakespeare’s classic story to life. Set in sixteenth century Verona, Italy, Romeo and Juliet chronicles the tragic romance of two young lovers from families on opposing sides of a bitter feud. After meeting at a masked ball, the couple fall in love during a romantic encounter on Juliet’s balcony and are secretly wed. They then find themselves trapped in a vicious web of circumstance as they rush headlong towards their tragic destiny. With striking music by Prokofiev, Romeo and Juliet features stunning sets, lavish costumes, impassioned dance and dramatic action.
