Paris Opera Ballet : Roméo and Juliette

From your cinema in Fouras, experience all the emotion of Romeo and Juliet live, by the Paris Opera Ballet.

In Verona, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet meet and fall madly in love, but their two families have an ancestral hatred for each other. Driven by a passion as lightning as it is impossible, the two lovers come up against a tragic fate that brings them together forever.

Raised by Shakespeare to the rank of myth, the story of Romeo and Juliet had to wait until the twentieth century before being embodied in a ballet thanks to the music of Sergei Prokofiev, in 1935. In his production created for the Paris Opera Ballet in 1984, Rudolf Nureyev seized on this brilliant and energetic score to offer a sumptuous, particularly cinematographic version.
Her choreography focuses on showing the transformation of the young Romeo into a man thanks to a passionate Juliet who tragically enters adulthood. Scenes of balls, juvenile provocations and duels in a magnificently reconstructed Italian Renaissance give body, relief and power to the passion of the lovers of Verona in the grip of the ancestral hatreds of their families.
