San Diego Ballet Brings the Heat With Romeo et Juliet

Get ready to be swept away by one of the most powerful love stories of all time, reimagined through movement, music, and soul-stirring emotion. San Diego Ballet presents Romeo et Juliet, a fresh and unforgettable take on Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy.

San Diego Ballet

Dance That Dares to Feel

Whether you’re a hopeless romantic or simply someone who appreciates raw, emotional storytelling, this performance delivers. For over a decade, Artistic Director Javier Velasco’s Romeo et Juliet has captured the hearts of San Diego audiences with its stunning choreography and deep emotional resonance.

The re-staging offers a more intimate lens into the inner desires, heartbreak, and longing of the world’s most iconic star-crossed lovers.

Set against a hauntingly beautiful score and performed by San Diego Ballet’s acclaimed dancers, this production is less about the spectacle and more about the soul—pulling you into the ecstasy and ache of young love, and the moments that shape who we are.

A Lush and Intimate Experience

This isn’t just a performance—it’s an emotional journey. With two shows only at the historic Balboa Theatre, you’ll want to reserve your seats early for what promises to be an unforgettable night of dance, drama, and passion.

See you there!

Fall in love. Fall apart. Feel everything. Romeo et Juliet by San Diego Ballet will remind you what it means to risk it all for love.
