Romeo and Juliet, by The Royal Ballet!

Watched the 'first night performance' of "Romeo and Juliet", ballet by The Royal Opera House- first time being performed at the O2 Arena, in front of around 12000 audience.. 
Though not a good venue for a ballet, u cud b too far from the stage to get the expressions (I took out my birding binox once in a while!;) ..there were some sublime dance moments..(their 1st Night also part of it!;)

This trailer is of the same troupe/production of Royal Ballet:
