Following the outstanding success of Mozart Dances (bite07), Mark Morris returns to bite with a new production of Romeo and Juliet set to Prokofiev's original score, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.
With a radically different ending to that of today's well-known version, the score has never before been performed as the composer intended, and this exciting collaboration marks a truly historic moment in dance and in music.
