Feel the dark intensity of Prokofiev’s Montagues and Capulets, with its brooding power and unforgettable themes drawn from Romeo and Juliet. In delightful contrast, Peter and the Wolf showcases Prokofiev’s playful genius. It is a vivid, characterful tale where each instrument steps into the spotlight to tell a story loved by generations.

Meanwhile, the exuberant rhythms of Rodeo bring toe-tapping vitality. Outdoor Overture opens the door to a landscape of optimism and bold horizons.
