About

Ballet makes its grand return to the Arena di Verona. After a 34-year wait, a new production of the most famous love story of all time is on its way. Romeo and Juliet lives again in “fair Verona”, from the verses of Shakespeare to the stage, with Prokofiev’s immortal music.

Manuel Legris has created a new choreography for Nicoletta Manni, Timofej Andrijashenko, and the Arena Ballet, featuring new costumes by Maurizio Millenotti. And Franco Zeffirelli’s sketches, created on the eve of the award-winning 1968 film, come to life once again on the immense stage under the stars.

An unmissable event for all ballet fans and for those seeking to discover dance in a magical setting.
