The 125 members of the Tchaikovsky Ballet and Orchestra bring to life the power, passion and sacrifice of forbidden love during a performance of Shakespeare's classic story, Romeo and Juliet.

The musical and visual feast takes place at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Hailed by The New York Times as "wonderfully imposing" and possessing the "most powerful blend of acting and dancing," the performance will feature traditional ballet set to hauntingly beautiful music, as it portrays the story of two star-crossed lovers whose families are trapped in a vicious feud.

It explores the depths of human relationships, loyalty, passion, and sacrifice through the music composed by Sergei Prokofiev.

Considered as one of the greatest ballets of the 20th century, Romeo and Juliet is sure to touch the audience with its dramatic music, artistic sets and graceful ballet artists.

So there you go! If you miss it, you only have yourself to blame!
