A PROPOS DU SPECTACLE

Based on the most famous and tragic love storys of the world - Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" - the ballet will be performed with the composition by Sergei Prokofiev at the Estonian National Opera!

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whole misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

"We are all born into this world to love and to be loved. When we think about love, 'Romeo and Juliet' come to our minds yet again. Why? Why do we wish to see their love story over and over? The secret of “Romeo and Juliet” lies in its timeless story that touches our hearts. It is retold time and again, affecting new generations, carrying us away. There is something mystifying in it, which cannot be explained. ... We must often stand up for our beliefs and the greatest blessing – love. Just like Romeo and Juliet did. Because when there is no love, where can one find strength…" (Tiit Härm, choreographer)
