The Australian Ballet: Romeo and Juliet

at the Regent Theatre, Melbourne 

With Orchestra Victoria

The story you know. An experience you’ll never forget.

Few stories echo through time like Romeo and Juliet. John Cranko’s beloved production brings Shakespeare's tale to life in medieval Verona – a city of wealth, rivalry and danger. Where the innocence of first love threatens to unravel everything.

Richly detailed sets and costumes conjure a world of pageantry – both opulent and intimate – immersing audiences in every moment of joy, defiance and heartbreak in this legendary work.

Whether you’re new to ballet or returning to a beloved tradition, this is an experience to fall head over heels for.

See ballet’s most iconic lovers come vividly alive in this must-see performance.
