Singapore Dance Theatre will open the 2014 Season with one of the greatest love stories in the classical ballet repertoire - Romeo and Juliet. Inspired by Shakespeare's timeless classic tale of two lovers from two feuding families in Verona, Italy, this ballet features choreography by Singaporean master craftsman in dance, Goh Choo San, and is set to a powerful score by Sergei Prokofiev.

The ballet, set in Verona tells the story of the Capulets and the Montagues who are sworn enemies. A ball is held at the Capulet’s home that evening, and Romeo, Mercutio and Benvolio decide to attend the ball, wearing masks. At the ball, Romeo and Juliet are brought together by Fate and they fall deeply in love. As the evening draws to a close, Juliet finds out that Romeo is the only son of her family's greatest enemy, the Montagues. Romeo sneaks into the Capulet's orchard later that night, and visits Juliet outside her balcony. They exchange vows of love and make plans to marry in secret.

Will the star-crossed lovers overcome all odds and live happily ever after? Or will their romance land them in a tragedy...

This classic tale of romance and passion is not to be missed!
