Sacramento Ballet refers to its production of "Romeo & Juliet" as co-artistic director Ron Cunningham's "signature masterpiece and perhaps his greatest artistic achievement."

Cunningham himself calls it “the absolute best choreography of my career.”

Featuring more than "200 period-inspired costumes, beautiful sets and scenery, pageantry, swordplay, drama, and choreography that draws the viewer into every passionate moment," the three-act production of William Shakespeare's masterwork is "a complete sensory experience."

As the company's website state, "No need for words here, as the universal language of dance tells the world’s most famous love story."

In performance at the Sacramento Community Center Theatre Oct. 18 through 21, 2012, the ballet features Alexandra Cunningham and Amanda Peet sharing the role of Juliet, and Richard Porter and Stefan Calka alternating in the role of Romeo.

Individual tickets are on sale through the Sacramento Ballet Box Office, (916) 552-5800 ext. 2, or through the Community Center Theater Box Office, (916) 808-5181, and online through Tickets.com. Individual ticket prices range from $17 to $70 (an additional $9 per ticket and $3 per order will be applied to every order). To avoid these fees, one can call the Community Center Theater directly.

Groups of 10 or more receive a 10 percent discount on individual tickets. Groups of 20 or more receive a 20 percent discount on individual tickets. (Groups may consist of adults and children; the adult ticket price will reflect the discount, children’s ticket prices are a set price and will not receive an additional discount.)
