Forbidden love, feuding families.  Shakespeare's timeless journey of two star-crossed lovers is captured in Roger Van Fleteren's full-length, Romeo and Juliet February 22-24, 2008. Set to Prokofiev's majestic score, Alabama Ballet traces this classic tale in which young love is first discovered and tragically ended.  Stirring, passionate, and heartbreaking, Alabama Ballet's Romeo & Juliet was also the subject of Alabama Public Television's Emmy-nominated documentary, The Making of Romeo & Juliet.
