Romeo + Juliet in Concert

The cinematic live-to-film event celebrates the 30th anniversary of Luhrmann’s groundbreaking 1996 film. Visiting three continents, the global tour is set to make its world premier at the Sydney Opera House on Sept. 29. 

Presented on a cinema screen with the original dialogue and action intact, William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet Film in Concert features a hybrid ensemble performing the film’s score and music live in sync with the full movie. Blending rock and orchestral musicians with vocals, electronics and a DJ, they channel Luhrmann’s signature fusion of classic storytelling and contemporary sound. 

Academy Award-winning Leonardo DiCaprio and Emmy-winning Claire Danes star as Romeo and Juliet in the bold retelling that made Shakespeare feel dangerous and romantic for a new generation and continues to influence fashion, music and culture that still reverberates today.

“One of the greatest surprises over the past three decades has been watching Romeo + Juliet find new audiences again and again. That’s the enduring magic of Shakespeare and cinema,” says Luhrmann, a two-time Academy Award nominee for Best Picture. “This concert celebrates both, while inviting audiences around the world to experience the film’s emotion, music and theatricality in a completely new way.”
