Romeo and Juliet from Shakespeare Will Arrive in Dubai in Ballet Form!

‍

_{This is not your run of the mill ballerina. With music to the composition by Sergei Prokofiev, it is a splendid retelling of the story we all are most familiar with, brought to life by the brilliant LA Dance Project and choreographed by none other than Benjamin Millepied, the creative genius behind the Academy Award winner, Black Swan.}

_‍

_{This show blurs the lines between the stage and screen, as it utilizes live projections to record the dancers in real time from unobvious areas of the theatre. Imagine being there to witness the drama and intensity not only on the stage but all around you!}

_‍

_{Quite an interesting twist of events that should rejuvenate the story of these star-crossed lovers!}

_‍

_{Whether you are familiar with Romeo and Juliet from hazy days of drama classes in school or have only read about the tragic tale, this new ballet retelling of the timeless love story remains relevant to each generation of audiences. The special projection system, too, adds a visual beauty in which the magnificent structure of the Dubai Opera is lovingly highlighted while providing an exciting ambiance.}

_‍

_{With its fetching balance of romance, sorrow, and artistic flair, the restaged ballet promises to rejuvenate the time-worn tale of star-crossed lovers into a modernized yet otherwise timeless story for everyone involved, whether you're an avid Shakespeare fan or just learning about the story for the first time.}

_‍

_{The architecture of the venue will be highlighted, and a very captivating mood is created by the creative usage of projections against the breathtaking backdrop of Dubai Opera. It is an event for all senses, not just for ballet.}
