Chicago Repertory Ballet presents The Capulets

Chicago Repertory Ballet is proud to announce the World Premiere of its original ballet, The Capulets. Set in the fictional universe of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, The Capulets focuses on the fraught relationships and power dynamics of the Capulet family, reimagining the timeless story from Lady Capulet’s perspective. Looking at Romeo and Juliet through the lens of the modern family,The Capulets explores Lady Capulet’s dissatisfaction in the Capulet marriage – and supposed love affair with Tybalt – with a salacious contemporary twist: Lord Capulet is having an affair with Paris, the wealthy suitor who seeks to marry Juliet. Featuring choreography by founding Artistic Director Wade Schaaf, with a contemporary classical new score by Matty Mattsson, projection designs by John Pobojewski (Span Designs), neo-futuristic costumes by Nathan Rohrer, and lighting by David Goodman-Edberg, The Capulets offers a riveting exploration of love, power, and family loyalty. The world premiere of The Capulets takes place two weekends only, November 7 to 16, 2025, at Ruth Page Center for the Arts, 1016 N Dearborn Street, Chicago IL. Tickets are available at www.crbdance.com or by calling 872-588-0430.
