ROMEO AND JULIET

Prokofiev | Romeo and Juliet One act version with State Street Ballet

January's concert is a celebration of some of history's greatest love stories - and the music that brought them to life. Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe is a luxurious score that beautifully captures the blossoming of young love in a pastoral setting.

This time, we turn to Prokofiev, whose energetic and exotic score vividly expresses the passion and tragedy of these iconic, star-crossed lovers.
