The screening was presented by Darcy Bussell, whose comments and interviews gave a grounded insight into all the hard work and dedication required for the performance.
The drama was wonderfully portrayed; the chemistry between Romeo (Steven McRae) and Juliet (Sarah Lamb) was palpable, and Tybalt (Gary Davis) must also have a special mention.
For those people who don't go to the ballet because they regard it as 'sissy' - sorry guys, you missed some fantastic sword fights along the way!
It would be easy to rant on about it - but it was a truly fantastic production with wonderful performances by the company - very moving, engaging and emotional.
The ballet celebrates its 50th Anniversary this year, and as Steven McRae commented in his interview with Darcy Bussell - Romeo and Juliet, with its music by Prokofiev, will be around in another 50 years.
More please!
