The Royal New Zealand Ballet has earned an international reputation for its versatility and spirited individuality. In its first UK tour in more than a decade, the company presents four works that show its strong classical base and talent for contemporary innovation.
Romeo and Juliet
Christopher Hampson's passionate and dramatic Romeo and Juliet is the tour centrepiece. Described by the New Zealand Herald as "a display of explosive, lithe and lyrical excellence that brings tradition and tragedy into the 21st century", the production was first performed in 2003.
