Get swept away in Louisville Ballet’s version of the timeless Shakespeare classic “Romeo & Juliet” at The Kentucky Center from March 1-2.

The breathtaking production, designed + choreographed by the late Alun Jones, portrays the bitter Montague-Capulet feud that disrupts the city of Verona and ends in tragedy for Romeo and Juliet.

Experience Louisville Ballet’s passionate closing production of the 23-24 season — and Company Artist Natalia Ashikhmina’s farewell performance with the ballet after 18 seasons. See showtimes and snag tickets.
