Royal Winnipeg Ballet will perform Rudi van Dantzig’s Romeo & Juliet after being in a moratorium for 5 years, accompanied by the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra playing Serge Prokofiev’s score. The production includes students and apprentices from the company’s school bringing the cast to a total of almost 75 dancers. Romeo and Juliet was van Dantzig’s first full-length ballet:

“Though no longer with us, he left behind a great legacy of works including this stunning production of Romeo & Juliet. Van Dantzig was an artist of the rarest calibre; a writer, dancer, and choreographer, whose aesthetic instincts were matched only by his strong opinions and political voice.”

– André Lewis, Artistic Director and CEO of RWBand

Romeo & Juliet will be at the Centennial Concert Hall in Winnipeg from February 13-17, 2019; more details can be found here. There are several complementary events that will also be held during this time period: 

  • February 13-17 (pre-performances) – Chat with RWB artistic staff and local media thirty minutes before to each performance at the Centennial Concert Hall; free for Romeo & Juliet ticket holders.
  • February 13 & 15 (post-performance) – Immediately after the show, meet the RWB dancers, take photos with them, and receive autographs.
  • February 14 & 16 (post-performance) – Take a backstage tour. Space is limited and free tickets are available during intermission.
  • February 15 (post-performance) – RWB Book Club will discuss Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet a, comparing the play with the ballet.
