The verdict

There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 170 minutes.

What it is about

Shakespeare’s timeless tale of star-crossed lovers is transformed in Kenneth MacMillan’s mesmerising ballet. The flourishing of young love is just as present in Romeo and Juliet's meeting on the balcony as in their final moments when they desperately cling to life in the tomb. Prokofiev’s evocative music sets the scene for stolen romantic moments and deadly feuds and sweeps the ballet towards its inevitable and tragic conclusion.

What to expect

Kenneth MacMillan’s ballet of Romeo and Juliet, filmed at the Royal Opera House, screens in Hong Kong from 29 May 2027. Fumi Kaneko and Vadim Muntagirov lead the company through Prokofiev’s score in a 170-minute stage recording. The performance is wordless, so no subtitles are needed. The certificate has not yet been announced; the work contains no explicit content. This is a limited engagement — check individual cinemas for venues and showtimes.
