William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet

A film in concert presentation of Baz Luhrmann's 1996 adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy, with live music accompanying the screening at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.

William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet is a film in concert presentation of the 1996 film adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy, directed by Baz Luhrmann. The film follows Romeo and Juliet, the two young lovers from feuding families at the heart of the play.

In a film in concert, the picture is shown on screen while the music is performed live, so the soundtrack is heard alongside the images rather than from a recording. The programme is therefore built around the film itself.

Glasgow Royal Concert Hall is a concert and performance venue on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. The evening will appeal to those who know Shakespeare's play or the 1996 film, and to anyone wanting to hear the music performed live alongside the story.
