Steps to the New World • Prokofiev's Shakespeare

Just when we began to consider adding Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet to our Steps series, Marko Ivanović took charge of rehearsing the composer's most famous ballet in Brno. What a coincidence! Some of the musical numbers have also found a home on concert stages around the world, and we try to tell Shakespeare's story through this motion-inspired music.
