"Once again the Paris Opera Ballet offers one of the most beautiful performances you could ever hope to see...very moving...Shakespeare is well served!"
- Le Parisien
"...a splendid recreation, totally faithful to Nureyev, this Romeo and Juliet is one of the great events of the year"
- Le Figaro
"This is a sumptuous production, featuring eye popping sets and costumes by Ezio Frigerio...Completely redolent of Renaissance Verona, the physical production at least is gorgeous, with an abundance of color and flash...this is an often scintillating performance, and should be seen by any lover of ballet wanting to experience Nureyev's own idiosyncratic take on one of the most iconic ballets in the 20th century repertoire."
- Jeffrey Kauffman, Blu-Ray.com
Choreographed by Rudolf Nureyev, this stunning Paris Opera Ballet production was performed at the Opera Bastille. The exceptional cast was chosen by Nureyev himself, and stars Manuel Legris and Monique Loudieres. Charles Jade is Tybalt, and Lionel Delanoe is Mercutio. Vello Pahn conducts the Orchestre de L'Opéra National De Paris.
