Ballet Ireland is delighted to announce plans to present a brand new production of Romeo & Juliet choreographed by Morgann Runacre-Temple. The production will have its world premiere at the Gaiety Theatre on Tuesday October 19th. The company of 16 will include Irish and International dancers and will tour to 31 venues in both Ireland and England over the coming months.
Shakespeare's tale of the star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, is one of the greatest love stories of all time. Against a backdrop of ancient feuds and gang warfare, the ill-fated young couple falls instantly and hopelessly in love. But their families are bitter enemies, and in order to be together the two lovers must be prepared to risk everything...Romeo and Juliet is a dazzling combination of passion and hatred, comedy and high tragedy, perfectly showcasing the talents of choreographer Morgann Runacre-Temple who delighted audiences last year with her adaptation of Cinderella. This is an innovative and exciting new production not to be missed.Ballet Ireland aims to develop a full-time classical ballet company of the highest quality, with a wide-ranging repertoire of international standard, which promotes an appreciation of ballet amongst people of all ages and backgrounds. Recent productions have included Swan Lake, The Lyric Suite & Cinderella, The Nutcracker and Wilde Extravaganza.Preformance dates / venues
