Windswept House-Romeo and Juliet, Op. 64, is a ballet by Sergei Prokofiev based on William Shakespeares play Romeo and Juliet. Prokofiev reused music from the ballet in three suites for orchestra and a solo piano work. Suites of the ballet music were heard in Moscow and the United States, but the full ballet premiered in the Mahen Theatre, Brno (then in Czechoslovakia, now in the Czech Republic), on 30 December 1938. It is better known today from the significantly revised version that was first presented at the Kirov Ballet in Leningrad on 11 January 1940, with choreography by Leonid Lavrovsky and with Konstantin Sergeyev and Galina Ulanova in the lead roles.
