MS6 - Romeo and Juliet

Marko Letonja, Conductor

Piers Lane, Piano

Kodaly: Dances of Galanta

Grieg: Piano Concerto

Prokofiev: Romeo & Juliet Suite

Festival Theatre

Friday 17 July, 8.00 pm

Saturday 18 July, 6.30 pm

The timeless story of Romeo and Juliet inspired Prokofiev to create one of the most magnificent ballet scores of all time. Its music is richly evocative, encompassing the splendour of Shakespeare’s Verona and the heart-rending tenderness of the ‘star-cross’d lovers’. Paired with Grieg’s uplifting Piano Concerto performed by the brilliant Piers Lane, and the colourful, folkloric Dances of Galanta by Zoltan Kodaly, this is a concert of total sensuous pleasure.
