| | Boston Ballet - Romeo and Juliet |
 | | It also has the lightness of the mandolin, strummed in a village square, and the sweetness of Juliet on her balcony, as she romances Romeo, dancing below, arms stretched toward his beloved, who was born to the opposing faction in Verona, as he's a Montague, and she's a Capulet. |
 | | As a ballet, it was first danced to Tchaikovsky, and later to Prokofiev (since 1938) with a score that has inspired countless choreographers to re-fashion this romantic tale of unrequited love. |
 | | Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, as I know it, has magnificence and grandeur, darkness and death. |
