Global stage productions of Romeo and Juliet

Overview

Various ballet and theatre companies are presenting diverse interpretations of the Shakespearean story of Romeo and Juliet.

In August, The Australian Ballet staged a production in Brisbane using Sergei Prokofiev’s score, while Scottish Ballet presented a compressed, 70-minute impressionistic version that omitted the traditional balcony scene.

By September, new productions were announced or staged in other regions. In Adelaide, students at Adelaide University scheduled a musical reimagining titled ‘& Juliet’, which explores a narrative where Juliet chooses her own path. Meanwhile, in Winnipeg, a production at the Elizabeth Paige Theatre featured a last-minute cast change involving the role of Juliet.
