From grand spectacles to poignant close-ups, experience Helgi Tomasson`s bravura interpretation of Shakespeare`s Romeo &  Juliet like you`ve never seen it before. With passionate choreography, spine-tingling swordsmansip, and a celebrated score by Sergei Prokofiev, San Francisco Ballet`s passionate retelling of the Bard`s greatest tragedy has packed houses around the world. Romeo & Juliet is one of the Company`s most popular and widely toured ballets and has been seen by more than 200,000 people since it premiered in 1994. Choreographed by Helgi Tomasson, with sets and costumes by Jens-Jacob Worsaae, this visually stunning production and the brilliant dancers of San Francisco Ballet bring this powerful and touching tragedy - and Renaissance-era Verona - vivdly to life. ``Tomasson lifts Shakespeare`s complex and familiar language off the gilded pages and translates it into lucid classical choreography that is visceral, fresh, and ultimately sublime`` (Huffington Post).
