Reuters reports that
Britain's Royal Ballet will hold four dance performances at a London arena famed for hosting top rock acts in a bid to bring ballet to a wider audience.
The performances of "Romeo and Juliet" in June 2011 will mark the first time the Royal Ballet has danced at an arena venue in Britain. They can normally be found at the plush Royal Opera House in Covent Garden.
London's 20,000 seat O2 arena usually hosts such popular music acts as Arcade Fire, Scissor Sisters and Lady Gaga.
Is this cool? Probably.
This is even cooler tho:
