Enter the heart of creation and discover the artists at work!

The Paris National Opera offers Arop members the privilege of observing the work of the artists and the genesis of a production at different times: work sessions, pre-dress rehearsals and dress rehearsals.

ROMEO AND JULIET

Raised to the status of myth by Shakespeare, the story of Romeo and Juliet had to await the 20^th century before being embodied in a ballet thanks to the music of Sergei Prokofiev in 1935.

In his production created for the Paris Opera Ballet in 1984, Rudolf Nureyev transformed this brilliant, energetic score into a sumptuous, particularly cinematic version.

His choreography focuses on the young Romeo's passage into manhood thanks to a passionate Juliet who tragically enters adulthood.

Ball scenes, youthful provocations and duels in a magnificently reconstructed Italian Renaissance lend body, depth and power to the passion of the lovers of Verona at odds with the ancestral hatreds of their families.
