Romeo and Juliet at Kansas City Ballet

Shakespeare’s classic love story has inspired music, theater and dance for more than 400 years. One of the most popular ballets in history, this beloved tale of youthful passion, family conflict and its tragic consequences has riveted audiences since it was first performed.

Set to the music of Sergei Prokofiev, this stirring ballet evokes the power of young love. “It’s about an emotion so powerful it can take your breath away,” says Ib Andersen, the ballet’s choreographer.
