Varna International Ballet returns for a new season in 2025 brought to life by magical special effects.

Performed by Varna International Ballet and accompanied by a live orchestra, Varna International Ballet Orchestra.

Shakespeare’s tale of primal passion and timeless tragedy is brought to life by Prokofiev’s soaring score, set in bustling Renaissance Verona and with an emotionally charged choreography that befits the world’s greatest love story. From the grandeur of the masked ball to the intimacy of the lovers’ balcony, this star-crossed story of duels, bitter family feuds and love that cannot be, is unmissable.
