ROMEO AND JULIET

One of Italy's premier ballet companies, Teatro alla Scala, will unveil its production of ROMEO AND JULIET at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in July as part of the Dance at the Music Center series.
   

    
The company's history is interwoven with the birth of ballet itself, from the renaissance courts of Italy to the celebrated opera house from which it derives its name. Throughout its existence, the company has had long-lasting, successful associations with some of the world's most notable choreographers and dancers.

Performing Sergei Prokofiev's ROMEO AND JULIET will be prima ballerina Diana Vishneva. Choreography is by Kenneth MacMillan (with live orchestra). Teatro all Scala is headed by artistic director Elisabetta Terabust.
