Romeo and Juliet at His Majesty's Theatre

When young Romeo Montague tricks his way into the lavish masked ball of the Capulet family it’s love at first sight. But the Capulets are old enemies of the Montagues and the immediate passion between Romeo and the beautiful Juliet Capulet is forbidden.

Euphoric with love and forgoing the approval of their families, the young lovers play by their own rules and soon hatch a dangerous plot that ends in heart-breaking tragedy.

This acclaimed international production from Youri Vámos is set in the 1930s and features evocative set and costumes from the period. ‘Only those who move the heart will change the world…’ says Vámos.

In a first for West Australian Ballet, Romeo and Juliet is presented as part of a dual season. This stunning show will be performed on alternative nights to Radio & Juliet, Edward Clug’s sizzling interpretation of the greatest love story ever told.
