In the ultimate tale of forbidden love, two young people risk everything to be together. Adapted by Christopher Gable and Massimo Moricone from Shakespeare’s masterpiece, Romeo & Juliet is one of Northern Ballet’s most beloved and critically acclaimed productions – and it’s making a long-awaited return to UK stages next spring.
With glorious dancers, eye-catching sets and Prokofiev’s timeless score performed live by Northern Ballet Sinfonia at every performance, this is ballet at its most dramatic, romantic and intense.

Rekindle the Romance
Northern Ballet’s beloved 1991 production of Romeo & Juliet, directed by Christopher Gable and choreographed by Massimo Morricone, was one of the productions damaged in the 2015 flood. In Spring 2024 we plan to restage this universal story, but we need your help to reunite our lovers.
Coming soon
Northern Ballet collaborator, Mthuthuzeli November (Wailers, Three Short Ballets, 2022) returns in autumn 2024 with a new commission in response to the classic story Romeo & Juliet.
