Swedish Royal Ballet in Paris: Juliette et Roméo

Sobre o Evento

One of the oldest dance companies in Europe performs at the Paris Opera. Founded in 1773 by King Gustav III, the Royal Ballet of Sweden brings a new production to Paris.

Mats Ek’s reworking of Shakespeare’s tragedy, renamed "Juliet and Romeo" and inspired by the music of Tchaikovsky, is a personal vision of this mythical story of love confronted by rivalry, family conflicts, and the struggle for power.
