In this first part of our discussion on the ballet, Romeo & Juliet, Jim sits down with Karen Gibbons-Brown to review Prokofiev's near-perfect score and the history of his adaptation of the Shakespearean tale of woeful romance. The composer dreamed of a happy ending for his version of the luckless lovers' tale, but Fate could not be deterred. Fort Wayne Ballet presents Romeo & Juliet on April 19 & 20 at the Arts United Center. Tickets are available now at fortwayneballet.org.
Kinetic Conversations is a Wayneshout Production. Fort Wayne has a voice at Wayneshout.com.
