Glorious @TheRoyalBallet Romeo & Juliet tonight. Terrific performances. This cast are just as amazing as they were in 2019. I probably should have apologised to the people sat either side of me for the amount of time I spent either crying or shaking with emotion! pic.twitter.com/g98hf0Mreg

What can I say? Amazing to be at this performance of Romeo and Juliet @TheRoyalBallet Perfectly cast, knife-edge tension, orchestra full pelt and amazing dancers.
