Ballet Arizona brings Shakespeare’s enduring love story to Symphony Hall with Romeo & Juliet, running through Sunday, Oct. 25. Featuring choreography by Ib Andersen and Sergei Prokofiev’s score performed live by The Phoenix Symphony, the production offers a weekend of romance, rivalry and tragedy in downtown Phoenix.
Andersen’s ballet follows the young lovers as their romance collides with family conflict. Through dance and live orchestral music, the production traces their journey from the excitement of first love to devastating loss. Ballet Arizona celebrates the work as one of Andersen’s greatest achievements.
Weekend performances take place Friday, Oct. 23, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 24, at 2 and 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Oct. 25, at 1 and 5:30 p.m. Guests are encouraged to arrive at least 30 minutes before showtime for security screening.
