Description
The greatest love story ever told is brought to life through Malcolm Burn's passionate choreography and Sergei Prokofiev's soaring emotional score.
Event Details
William Shakespeare's masterful play is known the world over for the powerful duel between the overwhelming emotions that rule the human soul: love and hatred. Propelled by a series of events that ultimately consume the storyline's two young lovers - Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague - the bard's tragic tale has been woven together from the familiar threads of the ecstasy of a first love, the intensity of a violet hatred, and the wrenching heartbreak of loss. Colored by the richness of Prokofiev's evocative and romantic score, this tale of young love destroyed by hate returns just in time for the Valentine's Day weekend.
