Sydney Fringe Festival 2016: Romeo & Juliet, Melbourne City Ballet

Answered by: Michael Pappalardo

Name of show: Romeo & Juliet, Melbourne City Ballet

Describe your show in a tweet? Catch the romance of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet by Melbourne City Ballet. Shakespeare's most well-known tragedy, Sydney 7 & 8 September, Eternity Theatre.

Why did you decide to do Fringe this year? Melbourne City Ballet performs in Sydney Fringe every year to add a classical flare to the festival and to entertain Sydney audiences. We have developed a strong following to our shows over the years and look forward to this fringe.

Tell us a bit about the creative team working on this project? Romeo & Juliet is our biggest production yet, touring nationally. We have had to have a super creative team to be able to design portable sets and beautiful costumes, as well as develop choreography that fits into many different spaces.

What will make you stand out in the Fringe crowd? Melbourne City Ballet is the fourth largest classical company in Australia, with a creative flare and young vibrance, which mean we always put on a show that is full of enthusiasm and entertainment.

When and where is your Fringe show? 7 - 8 Sep, Eternity Playhouse.
