I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm getting a strong sense that Lady Capulet and Tybalt were lovers in this version....

@Zolyushka95

MacMillan's choreography doesn't imply such relationship in other parts of this ballet, but true, it does make sense if you take it that the two were lovers.

Some choreographers have gone further in this interpretation. Neumeier's version of Romeo and Juliet actually show Lady Capulet and Tybalt flirting behind Lord Capulet's back ;-)

I love the Romance period music.

For a dead guy he sure is breathing hard

I love the drama of this. It's particularly good following the almost endless death of Mercutio. That has to be one of the longest death scenes ever?

you know what creeps me out? seeing the cameltoe on men

[jankington216]

What happened to all the creepy string swells at the begining of the 3rd movement!

[SarahVanDesslar]

Thanks for putting this up! It provides a lot of character development of Lady Capulet for me! :D
