For National Ballet of Canada principal dancer Heather Ogden, “Romeo and Juliet” is a story that many people can easily relate to, a story of love breaking barriers.
The National Ballet of Canada’s first soloist Etienne Lavigne has been playing Tybalt for 14 years in Romeo and Juliet, and although he still enjoys the role, he sometimes wonders if he’s been typecast as the bad guy. Throughout his career, he has played the role of several other villains as well as Tybalt.
