Saw this magnificent ballet in Boston. Not a dry eye in the theater. Everyone knows the story....but how can you not cry??? This production was on my bucket list and I'm so happy I was able to see this.

Can you imgine that the ballet originally was supposed to have a happy ending? This sparked a controversy which postponed the premiere and the ending was then revised and Shakespeares original ending restored.

That's an incredible talent to dance while pretending to be dead with the same magnificent form as one might have performing "live." What skill. Remarkable.

This Kenneth Macmillan pas de deux between Romeo and his "dead" Julie is a unique event in the history of the performing arts. His consummate mastery of the expressive power of the dance and music tears asunder the veil between life and art and "pierceth the heart..."

There are other versions of this ballet performed, but Kenneth MacMillan is the greatest choreographer who ever lived, and his mastery is instantly recognisable!

Good ole story is that the only good thing Stalin ever did was stop Sergei changing the ending to a happy one. Joe liked his Shakespeare and raw. And nobody argued with Stalin so Proko sat down and did as he was bid. And wow what a ballet.

@foster875 Do you actually KNOW the story? Juliet did that because of what a PRIEST, a MAN, told her to do. It was the idea of a MAN, the priest that married them both. It was not a mistake by Juliet, it was a plan she had with this priest. The priest was supposed to send someone to TELL Romeo about it, and who he sent was another MAN, a boy, who did not tell Romeo... So if someone is to be blamed by all the mistakes, it is a MALE. Not Romeo or Juliet.

For me it looked like an outrage upon the corpse. Very bad taste. The logic of Juliet’s behavior is unexplainable. Why on earth after stabbing she goes not to Romeo, but back to the sarcophagus and then creeps on it just for dying in nice V-shape exactly like his? And where is the most significant scene the whole this tragedy has led to? Where is a reconciliation of the two clans? The very point of the tragedy is missing. There are a lot of holes to this choreography. No, thank you, I prefer the Russian version with Galina Ulanova.

Its not supposed to be the exact story because its a ballet and a form of symbolism and expression... this is he ending because its a ballet thats supposed to end romantically and dramatically.

MacMillan is a genius, but this scene looks kind of creepy and not aesthetically pleasing to me. I decided to watch the classical Romeo and Juliet ballet after I saw parts of Romeo and Juliet choreographed by Johan Kobborg with Sergei Polunin and Alina Cojocaru. After comparing may I just say I love Kobborg’s version so much more! I wish big ballet companies would give this new ballet a chance.

Amzing to think that between completion and first performance came the overt insanity and covert brutality Stalin's show trials and purges. The theatre director who had commissioned R&J and reduced the play to a balletic essense, was taken in thenight and shot before he got to see the masterpiece he'd called into being. I think music captures aswell something of its own historical context

It sounds like from Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet on here from 6:00 minutes on is the part used for Eagle's Serenade by Stringfellow Hawk on the t.v. series AIRWOLF. Compare to the music at: Eagle´s serenade posted by evaoneill, here on KZbin. Let me know if you think this is the same. They have always said this bit of cello was Prokofiev, but no one ever seemed to know which song. I think this is it. Please let me know. Thanks!
