76 - Sergei Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet - A Ballet by Cathy Marston

In William Shakespeare’s drama Romeo and Juliet, the power of love allows two young people to transcend ordinary human limitations. Thanks to Sergei Prokofiev’s music, the star-crossed lovers have conquered the ballet stage. Cathy Marston brings the world’s most famous love story to the stage with the Ballett Zürich, presenting a world of contrasts in which, in the blink of an eye, everything can be turned on its head: around the next corner, either the love of your life awaits you – or death.
