Marin Alsop, conductor
PROKOFIEV: Romeo and Juliet
Edward Berkeley, stage director

Prokofiev’s sumptuous ballet score underscores the struggles of young love amidst violent tragedy like no other representation of Shakespeare’s classic play. Lush, romantic melodies contrast with music of the warring Montagues and Capulets. Edward Berkeley, who triumphed with his adaptation of A Midsummer’s Night Dream for the BSO, returns to direct an ensemble of actors with orchestra

Presented in association with Folger Theatre
