Details
Over the summer of 1935, Sergei Prokofiev sketched an astonishing array of dances to capture the yearning, vigor, passion, violence, hope, and searing desperation of a Shakespeare tragedy. In the end, he produced one of the greatest ballets of the 20th century.
Music Director Laureate Robert Spano leads the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in a suite from Prokofiev’s tour de force Romeo and Juliet. Spano opens with a suite from a 21st-century ballet, Thomas Adès' rich and vivid soundscape Dante. The ASO's season-long Brahms Festival continues with a winning concerto featuring piano powerhouse Dejan Lazić and his new transcription of Brahms’s captivating Double Concerto.
