“Giulietta e Romeo”, il long seller di Fabrizio Monteverde. Storia produttiva e vicende artistiche di un classico contemporaneo

Abstract

This essay intends to return the productive story and the articulated artistic events of Juliet and Romeo, a long-lived classic signed by the choreographer and director Fabrizio Monteverde. Juliet and Romeo, a work born in 1989 for Balletto di Toscana, already revived by Balletto di Roma in 2002 and then in a renewed version of 2017, in 2022 was rearranged by the same choreographer for the interpreters of the well-known Roman company, confirming over time one of the most successful titles in its repertoire. The author's research perspective intends to return the "living voices" of the past and present, crossing them, and then hypothesize the reasons for this choreography's resistance to time and to the change in aesthetics in terms of production, transmission and reception.
