Concert information
Info
Two feuding families, and a young, innocent couple: Sergei Prokofiev transformed Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet into a ballet full of tender, lyrical melodies and captivating dance scenes. Folkloric elements run through the music. Lithuanian conductor Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla has compiled highlights from the score for her debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker. To open the concert, Gražinytė-Tyla brings us the cheerful, ironic world of a puppeteer in Mieczysław Weinberg’s ballet suite Burattino und das goldene Schlüsselchen. Another highlight: Emanuel Ax is the soloist in the new piano concerto by film composer John Williams.
