TORONTO - Montreal-born dancer Tamara Rojo will star in a production of Romeo and Juliet to be shown at movie theatres across Canada later this month.

The performance by the Royal Ballet of London will be screened on May 24.

The Metropolitan Opera has had considerable success simulcasting operas in movie theatres. The Royal Ballet performance was pre-recorded at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden.

The Kenneth MacMillan interpretation of Romeo and Juliet is set to music by Prokofiev.

Rojo's co-star in the performance is Cuban dancer Carlos Acosta.
