Romeo & Juliet by Ballet Ireland, An Grianán Theatre

Ballet Ireland brings its production of Romeo & Juliet to An Grianán Theatre in Letterkenny on Tuesday, 1 December 2026, with a 7:30pm start.

What to expect

An Grianán’s listing credits the show to Ballet Ireland, performing its staging of the story of two lovers who defy their warring families, set to Prokofiev’s score. As a dance production rather than a spoken drama, the story is told through choreography and music rather than dialogue. The venue’s own page does not name the choreographer for this touring production, so anyone wanting fuller programme notes should check An Grianán’s own event page.

Getting there

An Grianán Theatre is on Port Road in Letterkenny, Donegal’s largest town and its main arts venue, a short walk from the town centre. The box office is on 074 91 20777, open Monday to Saturday, 9.30am to 5pm, for directions or access queries before the show. December touring dates can sell well, so early booking is worth it for a national company visit like this.

While you’re in Letterkenny

Letterkenny is Donegal’s county town, with Main Street running up to St Eunan’s Cathedral and a riverside walk along the Swilly close to the theatre. With Christmas lights typically up by early December, a Ballet Ireland evening is a good excuse for a night out in the county town. More on Letterkenny and Co. Donegal.
