Save the Date: The Capulets
November 7–16, 2025 | The Ruth Page Center for the Arts

Chicago Repertory Ballet proudly presents the world premiere of The Capulets—a bold new full-length story ballet conceived and choreographed by Founding Artistic Director Wade Schaaf.

Set to a hauntingly beautiful original score by composer Matty Mattsson, with stunning projections by John Pobojewski of SPAN Design, The Capulets reimagines Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet from a fresh and unexpected perspective.

Instead of the star-crossed lovers, this gripping new ballet follows Lady Capulet and her secret love affair with Tybalt, and the drama and intrigue within the Capulet household.

Don’t miss this unforgettable premiere—a thrilling fusion of dance, music, and visual design, and a milestone in CRB’s growing legacy of innovative contemporary ballet.

Tickets will be on sale soon. Mark your calendar—you won’t see this ballet anywhere else.
