The National Teater of Opereta and Musical „Ion Dacian” brings back on stage the beloved pop-rock musical „Romeo and Juliet”, after more than 15 years
The National Teater of Opereta and Musical „Ion Dacian” announces enthusiastically the return of one of the most beloved pop-rock musicals that was part of its repertoire: Romeo and Juliet, the creation of composer Gérard Presgurvic, inspired by the masterpiece of William Shakespeare. After more than 15 years since its premiere on the stage of the Bucharest operetta, the show returns in the same spectacular production, which combines the emotion of a classic story with the energy and modernity of pop-rock music.
The musical Romeo and Juliet had its world premiere on January 19, 2001, in Paris, enjoying a resounding success: over 2 million spectators in one year, gold, platinum and diamond records, over 6 million albums and DVDs sold, chart-topping hits for 32 consecutive weeks, and the award for best-selling album of the year. Subsequently, the show has been staged with the same success in numerous cities around the world, including London, Budapest, Vienna, Moscow, Seoul, Taipei, and Montreal.
In Romania, the musical premiered in 2009 on the stage of the National Theater of Operetă and Musical „Ion Dacian”, being among the most loved productions in the history of the institution. At that time, the direction and adaptation from the original version were done by KERO, who is returning in 2025 to give a new life to this reference production. This year's revival marks not only the return of an iconic title but also a staging in which the past and present harmoniously intertwine. Some of the artists from the original cast return in this production, however, in some cases, in different roles from those that established them 15 years ago, these changes reflect at their artistic evolution, as well as a natural casting, suitable for the age and experience they have now.
The production remains faithful to the vision that transformed this musical into an international phenomenon, preserving the ingenuity and emotional force that captivated the audience since its first performance in Romania. At the same time, the passage of time brings an added artistic maturity, and the experience gained over the past 15 years is reflected in refined directorial details and the fresh energy of the show. Although the structure and original spirit remain unchanged, the new directorial nuances will enrich this production, offering both loyal spectators and the new generation an intense, vibrant, and deeply emotional experience.
