After his original ballet KING LEAR, Igor Dobrovolskiy returns to William Shakespeare to create a one–act ballet based the Bard’s timeless romance.
No other play by Shakespeare has been such a rich source of inspiration for composers and choreographers.
Set on Tchaikovsky’s Fantasy Overture “Romeo and Juliet”, and Symphony No. 4 in F minor – Andante sostenuto, the ballet creates a world of caprice and uncertainty. Young lovers who have just barely left behind their childhood, face the consequences of feeling too deeply in a world where there is no clemency for breaking rules.
