Romeo and Juliet is the most famous ballet by Prokofiev and the most ever popular ballet about love. This choreographic version of the tragedy by Shakespeare was first seen on the Mariinsky Theatre stage in 1940. It had been staged by Leonid Lavrovsky, who closely worked with Prokofiev on this production. This is an amazingly touching and thrilling performance.
The Daily Telegraph: "From the present day point of view, the production has many positive qualities: the clearly defined story line; the elegant, refined dance, the lyrical duets; the sets by Pyotr Williams, the faded grandeur of which precisely conveys the atmosphere of Renaissance Italy. Here, too, absolute faith and self-giving from the two lovers, from the very depths of their souls, is essential. It is this that is brought to the ballet by the soloists of the Mariinsky Ballet Company. They are stunning; they are of those dancers who, it would appear, know instinctively that they are born for the stage"

Kenneth thought the Prokofiev score was one of the very best ballet scores ever written

Lady Deborah MacMillan, widow of Kenneth MacMillan

MacMillan’s particular feature is the abundance of dance. Compared to all other versions of Romeo and Juliet that were staged in our country from the times of the Soviet Union this one is the most difficult

The costumes in the performance are truly amazing, not only thanks to the impressive quality of the fabrics and designer solutions, but also because of the adherence to the Renaissance traditions

Romeo and Juliet, the most famous lovers on the planet, live and die on stage, in music, in cinema for more than 400 centuries. They are immortal, just like love and like hatred that lied between their families are.

No one counted the number of versions of this story, there must be more than dozens of hundreds of them with more than a hundred in choreography only.

Then why have we decided to include the Romeo and Juliet in our Anniversary Season in which we aim to surprise?

Because in the year of 125th anniversary of Sergei Prokofiev our festival programme will not be full without his mystical music.

Because Kenneth MacMillan is the legend of the world ballet, but it is almost impossible to see his choreography in Russia for various reasons.

Because by adding to the marvelous Perm Ballet and magnificent Renaissance costumes created by the Italian designers brilliant dancers from Royal Ballet and Dutch National we are creating a unique version of Macmillan iconic ballet.

And, finally, we believe in love. We believe in that it has the power over absolutely everything in this life and even death means not an end of love but its transition to another dimension…

The Perm Ballet Company produced a Romeo and Juliet that fizzed and crackled with energy
