Bolshoi Live: Romeo and Juliet
In spite of each of their families being merciless enemies,
Romeo and Juliet are deeply in love. The rivalry between the Capulets and the
Montagues will cost Mercutio’s life, causing Romeo a desire of vengeance for
the loss of his friend…
The star-crossed lovers’ tragic fate inspired Prokofiev a
remarkable cinematic score, from the delicate theme of Juliet to the ominous
Dance of the Knights. Bolshoi stars Ekaterina Krysanova and Vladislav Lantratov
wholly embody the two eternal lovers in Alexei Ratmansky’s stunning evocation
of love at first sight.
