Highlighted

Among the most beautiful and exciting, the version of Romeo and Juliet of Kenneth MacMillan, in the La Scala repertoire for many years, it has seen unforgettable and passionate protagonists alternate in giving body and soul to the Shakespearean story of the Veronese lovers, whom MacMillan treats with profound attention to human relationships, with lyricism and psychological tension, with moments of humour, the dynamics and emotions of the ballet d'action well present in the score.

In the staging created for La Scala in 2010 by Mauro Carosi is Odette Nicoletti, the ballet is now back on stage seven years after its last performances.
