The National Operetta and Musical Theatre "Ion Dacian" brings back to the stage the beloved pop-rock musical "Romeo and Juliet", after more than 15 years.

The National Operetta and Musical Theatre "Ion Dacian" announces with enthusiasm the resumption of one of its most beloved pop-rock musicals that was part of its repertoire: Romeo and Juliet, a creation of composer Gérard Presgurvic, inspired by William Shakespeare's masterpiece. More than 15 years after its premiere on the Bucharest operetta stage, 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 resounding success: over 2 million spectators in a single year, gold, platinum, and diamond records, record sales of albums and DVDs (over 6 million copies), hits that occupied the #1 spot in the charts for 32 consecutive weeks and the award for the best-selling album of the year. Subsequently, the show was 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 Operetta and Musical Theatre "Ion Dacian", being among the most beloved productions in the institution's history. At that time, the direction and adaptation from the original version were signed by KERO, who returns in 2025 to give a new life to this landmark production. This year's revival marks not only the return of an iconic title, but also a staging where past and present blend harmoniously. Some of the artists from the original cast are returning in this production, however, in some cases, in different roles than those that made them famous 15 years ago, these changes reflecting both their artistic evolution and a natural casting, appropriate to their current age and experience.

The staging remains faithful to the vision that transformed this musical into an international phenomenon, preserving the ingenuity and emotional power that captivated audiences from its very first performance in Romania. At the same time, the passage of time brings an added artistic maturity, and the experience gained over 15 years is reflected in refined directorial details and the fresh energy of the show. Although the original structure and spirit remain unchanged, new directorial nuances will enrich this production, offering both loyal spectators and the new generation an intense, vibrant, and profoundly emotional experience.
