William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet Film in Concert
Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Baz Luhrmann’s iconic 1996 film with William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet Film in Concert, a live cinematic concert experience featuring a big-screen presentation of the film, elevated with live music, atmospheric lighting, and immersive stage production. The vibrant world of Verona Beach, its warring houses and star-crossed lovers, comes to life with a 12-piece hybrid ensemble performing the soundtrack and score live in sync with the film.

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, Luhrmann’s bold reimagining of Shakespeare’s legendary romantic drama became a cultural phenomenon with its striking visuals, emotional intensity, and unforgettable soundtrack featuring songs “Kissing You,” “Lovefool,” and “Talk Show Host.”
