Romeo and Juliet at Tennessee Performing Arts Center

Nashville Ballet has announced the highly-anticipated production of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet will return to Tennessee Performing Arts Center (TPAC) Jackson Hall on April 20 - 21, 2024 under the artistic direction of Nick Mullikin.   Show times are Saturday at 2pm and 7:30pm and Sunday at 2pm.

Mullikin brings a fresh energy to the classic tale that remains rooted in the beloved choreography of Artistic Director Emeritus Paul Vasterling. This production exquisitely portrays the bitter feud between the Montague and Capulet families that disrupts the city of Verona and ends in tragedy.  Mullikin’s guidance emphasizes the continuity and growth of the company's artistic journey. 

The production of Romeo and Juliet underlines Nashville Ballet's commitment to excellence and innovation.  In addition, the powerful performance is enhanced by the emotional depth of Sergei Prokofiev's score, performed live by The Nashville Symphony, and the visual splendor of lavish costumes and sets. This blend of elements weaves together a theatrical experience that honors the legacy of Shakespeare's work while showcasing the dynamic artistic vision propelling the company forward.
