Seasoned ballet lovers and newcomers alike will be enthralled by The Moscow City Ballet’s performance of Romeo and Juliet at Dubai Opera from Thursday 19 until Saturday 21 April 2018.
Sergei Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet is the perfect marriage of a powerful dramatic musical score with a passionate love story.
All the hustle and bustle of Renaissance Verona is brought vividly to life in this fast-moving, powerful production all enhanced by the dynamic vitality of a live orchestra.
Set against the backdrop of Renaissance Italy, Victor Smirnov Golovanov’s interpretation of the romantic tragedy is led by principal dancers Yulia Zhuravleva as Juliet and Dmitry Lazovik in the role of Romeo.
Faithful to Shakespeare’s original text, this beautiful ballet follows the fate of the star-crossed lovers from their first meeting to their untimely, tragic deaths.
The Moscow City Ballet
The Moscow City Ballet was founded in 1988 by distinguished Russian choreographer Victor Smirnov-Golovanov.
The company is the outcome of the recent reforms in post-Soviet Russia. It is a private enterprise and is not subsidised by the government.
The company's first appearance was in 1989 in Seoul, Korea. Its success outside of Russia makes it one of Russia's most extensively touring ballet companies.
Since 1988, Moscow City Ballet has appeared in Belgium, Cyprus, Egypt, Holland, Hong-Kong, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Estonia, Peoples Republic of China, Philippines, Republic Korea, R.O.C. Taiwan, Singapore, United Kingdom, and, naturally, in Russia itself.
The company's greatest success has been in the United Kingdom where it has given more than 800 performances since 1991, accompanied by the National Ballet Orchestra.
