Romeo & Juliet: Choreography by John Cranko (Music:Prokofiev)

Luminous in its power and poignancy, John Cranko's Romeo and Juliet is set to Sergei Prokofiev's famous musical score. The ballet version of Shakespeare's famous tale established Cranko as a master story teller, using powerful music and pristine movements to explore the powerful relationship between the two title characters. When Pennsylvania Ballet last produced Romeo and Juliet in 2005, The Philadelphia Inquirer said it was a 'sumptuous production' that keeps audiences "fully engaged and at times transfixed."
