Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla makes her debut with Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Juliet”
Sergei Prokofiev transformed Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet into a ballet full of vigour, lyrical melodies and folkloric dance scenes. Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla has compiled highlights from the score for her debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker. Beforehand, the conductor takes us to the cheerfully ironic world of a puppet maker with Mieczysław Weinberg’s The Golden Key Suite, and a new piano concerto by film music legend John Williams with soloist Emanuel Ax.
