John Crankoâs Romeo and Juliet
Music
Synopsis
William Shakespeare's tragedy about the feuding Montagues and Capulets, whose children find each other and overcome the deep-seated hatred, has inspired countless artists. John Cranko also took up this timeless material in 1962 and created one of his most popular ballets. Sergei Prokofiev's descriptive music - in combination with JĂŒrgen Rose's opulent sets and costumes â forms the perfect back drop which allows the scenes to unfold just as if they had sprung directly from an Italian Renaissance painting.
