Prokofiev’s stunning score combined with Shakespeare’s famous story of star-crossed lovers make this a rare treat. The path of true love winds to a tragic end for Romeo and Juliet. Their families oppose their lovematch and, in a desperate attempt to be together, tragedy strikes. With the leads played by Margot Fonteyn and Rudolph Nureyev, this is a masterpiece on many levels.
