The greatest love story ever told – through ballet. An ancient family feud casts a long shadow over

the town of Verona. In this hothouse of tension, brawls are quick to break out and both sides get

caught in the crossfire.

The Capulets and Montagues are sworn enemies. Yet it is love at first sight for Romeo Montague and

Juliet Capulet when they meet each other at the Capulet ball, into which Romeo has snuck. The two

fall in love and they profess their devotion to each other at Juliet’s balcony. They secretly get

married. The stakes are raised for the young couple when Romeo avenges the death of his friend

Mercutio who has been killed by Tybalt, Juliet’s cousin. For this, Romeo is exiled from Verona.

Meanwhile, Juliet’s parents are forcing her to marry another suitor. In order to be together, Romeo

and Juliet must risk it all.
