Romeo at Juliette | Sasha Waltz & Guests Sasha Waltz and Hector Berlioz Sasha Waltz’ 2007 production of "Roméo et Juliette« for the Opéra National de Paris was the Berlin choreographer’s third work for the opera stage after »Dido & Aeneas« and »Medea« (2007), new versions of which she later produced for Milan and Berlin. Inspired by Berlioz’ theatre music, her choreography explores the interplay of love and death and presents a tragic fate that still allows for hope. For their respective families the sacrifice of the young lovers means the chance of a new beginning: »The dance of death becomes a dance of life."
