Guest Principal and English Horn:

The Bolshoi’s incomparable stars immerse themselves in Shakespeare’s enduring tragedy of star-crossed love. Danced to Prokofiev’s richly cinematic score, Alexei Ratmansky’s version shines with the characteristic style that audiences have come to adore from him: quick steps, vigorous lifts, and surprising dashes of humor. Washington is the only U.S. city lucky enough to host Romeo and Juliet.
