The forever romance,the hundred year classic ,the most heart-warming dancing you will see this year.
The Russian National Ballet Theatre is coming back. They will bring the world's greatest classic ballet Romeo and Juliet this time.
The seamless choreographed by Evgeny Amosov based on the Prokofiev ballet in three Acts and classical music.The Russian National Ballet Theatre will bring audience into a antiquity tradition of tragic romances story. "For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo" ?a?a From William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families.This dramatic ballet stays loyal to Shakespeare?ˉs original tragic ending. The romantic pas de deux, taut fight scenes and the festive street dances will leave you awe-inspired.
The theatre was founded with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation. The basis for the creation of the theatre was a necessity for promising young theatre with high creative potential, both classical and contemporary.
Today, the Russian National Ballet Theatre is on a creative upswing. Among the new productions are ballets of the classical repertory:" Swan Lake", "Nutcracker", "Sleeping Beauty", "Don Quixote", "Giselle", "Romeo and Juliet", a gala concert, as well as contemporary ballets composed by Mozart, Bach, Ravel and other composers.
At age 72 I am new to ballet and it’s all thanks to the Kings theater in Brooklyn. I saw the Nutcracker in December and came back for Romeo and Juliet. Both were breathtaking. The Kings staff are some of the loveliest people I have encounter. They make you feel like you are entering their home. They really make you feel welcome something often missing in this day and age. Hope they have more ballets scheduled in the future
Beautifully choreographed. Wonderful production! So glad we went. Our seats were perfect too!
Of course the music for this Romeo and Juliet by Prokofiev is spectacularly beautiful. Unfortunately, and understandably, the music was recorded, not live. And it was a bit loud in the first half of the performance. Romeo and Juliet were wonderful dancers. The company was great. Costumes were lovely. Overall a really enjoyable and memorable performance..
The performances were amazing. I can highly recommend the National Ballet of Odessa!
Professional production. Can’t go wrong with a classic from Shakespeare’s story and an unforgettable music from Sergey Prokofiev. Dancers nailed it. The set was great. You could tell the guys were 100% putting themselves out there, and ballet is not easy. We don’t understand why the tickets were so affordable? Recommend!!!!!
Beautiful dancing and choreography, lovely set and costumes, but the lighting was very dark during a lot of the show Love the small venue
Great show. Fiancee and I have wanted to see this show for quite some time. Fantastic performance.
Certainly, Silvina Vaccarell (Juliet) and Jace Coronado (Mercutio) deserve very high praise for their performance. They were the true stars there. They are the reason why I would recommend my friends to go and see this performance. Enjoy the ease that they demonstrate in their flying movements. Bravo! I am in no mood to downgrade a desire of any dancer to extend the limits of his or her professional dance life. Sergio Neglia deserves a lot of praise for all the efforts to bring new ballet productions to Buffalo. However, the choreography might be more interesting if it is not done to accommodate his personal limits in dancing that unfortunately cannot be prevented from appearing at certain time of our lives. The was no need to sacrifice the choreography just to see himself in a leading role. The orchestra seemed to be at lost at the beginning, but it finally recovered and played well. However, Sergei Prokofiev gets most of the accolades.
Romeo and Juliet was beautiful! I went on Saturday night Nov. 2nd. The ballerina as Juliet was an amazing dancer and wonderful actress! She was so strong, graceful and believable as Juliet! All the dancers were wonderful! I was also very impressed with Mercutio. His dancing was amazing and his playfulness in character was entertaining! I especially liked the scene where Juliet is alone in her bedroom in such pain over her love for Romeo and the arranged marriage situation she finds herself in. Also have to pick the love scene between Romeo & Juliet. They danced effortlessly! The scene was beautiful and romantic.
The playful sport and gaiety are but a thin mask to the tragedy that is to come. From first glance to passionate embrace Romeo and his Juliet dance on our hearts as we witness true love unfold. Tragedy follows closely and pounces quickly. The love that blossomed as the rose is cut from life and left to be mourned by the ages.
