Romeo and Juliet at the Academy of Music

-Photo by Alexander Iziliaev

April 30 – May 10, 2026

It’s “wherefore art thou” with a twist.

Shakespeare’s tale of two star-crossed lovers comes to life in this ballet version of Romeo and Juliet, with new choreography set to Sergei Prokofiev’s score.

Need a refresher on the timeless tragedy? Two young lovers from feuding families secretly get married, misunderstandings ensue and (430-year-old spoiler warning) they die — but it’s really all about the journey along way.

The performance’s choreographer, Juliano Nunes, stands out in the ballet world for his modern, fluid and almost cinematic approach to dance, allowing him to remix multiple forms of art in ways that appeal to new generations.

Where: Academy of Music, 240 S. Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA
