The ballet «Romeo and Juliet» is one of the most famous and recognizable works in the history of classical ballet. His first productions made a splash in ballet circles and immediately became a model for the modernization of classical choreography. For the first time, Juliet was performed by Galina Ulanova, who, with her unique performances, aroused the true admiration of the audience. The ballet staged by Leonid Lavrovsky became the standard for all subsequent versions.

The famous English version of the ballet was staged by Kenneth Macmillan in 1965. In the roles of Romeo and Juliet, Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fontaine took the stage, thanks to which this version became undoubtedly a cult. However, it is worth noting that Macmillan's choreography is an almost exact repetition of Lavrovsky's version.

The Novosibirsk version of the ballet, staged by Oleg Vinogradov in 1965, brought originality to these famous pages of history. Original choreographic solutions and unusual stage images will not leave any viewer indifferent.
