Astana Ballet staged Romeo and Juliet, choreographed by Vladimir Yakovlev to music by Sergei Prokofiev. The theatre’s symphony orchestra accompanied the performances under conductor Elmar Buribayev.
Romeo was performed by Sundet Sultanov and Wesley Carvalho, while Nazerke Aimukhametova and Kamila Rakhmanberliyeva danced Juliet. The artists told the story of young lovers caught in the feud between two families.
First presented in 2017, the production is marked by a fast-moving plot and a minimalist stage design. Its choreography focuses on revealing the characters and emotions of the protagonists.
