Roméo & Juliette

Roméo & Juliette, to be seen on 25 February 2028 at 7:30 p.m. at the Zénith de Dijon, has already captivated more than 11 million spectators worldwide. Translated into 18 languages and performed in 20 countries, the production has established itself as an international classic while retaining its status as a work of French musical theatre. Launched in 2001 at the Palais des Congrès, where it drew nearly 2.5 million spectators, the production became a benchmark. Roméo & Juliette still offers audiences the opportunity to see its original duo on stage.

I was chosen at 15 to play Juliet, a role that marked the start of my life as an artist. Reprising it twenty years later alongside Damien comes with the experience I have since gained. The story continues to bring people together. Returning to Paris after having taken Roméo & Juliette around the world, notably in Asia, gives the show a particular resonance. This role has accompanied me since 2001; taking it up again today alongside Cécilia is part of that continuity.

With more than 9 million records sold and songs that have become inseparable from French pop culture, including Les Rois du monde and Aimer, Roméo & Juliette has left its mark on the history of musical theatre. For nearly 25 years the production has travelled across cultures and adapted to the changes of its time: new techniques, new staging codes, new audience expectations. Faithful to its DNA while renewing itself, it maintains its identity.

For Gérard Presgurvic, Roméo & Juliette remains a universal and timeless love story. It asks a current question: how far are we willing to go for love?

In 2027, Roméo & Juliette returns in a reimagined version, incorporating new codes while preserving its essence: a timeless story and universal emotions. This comeback comes with a new cast, new costumes and a redesigned stage concept, conceived for today.
