Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and JulietT091600850
Romeo gate-crashes a ball given by his family's enemies, the Capulets, only to fall in love with their daughter Juliet. Their passion is mutual, but the hatred between their families forces their relationship to a catastrophic conclusion.
Music Prokofiev

Production details

Set in the 20th century, this passionate story of forbidden love unfolds through three dramatic acts as time moves on inexorably. Beginning in black-and-white in an Italian metropolis, Pastor shows a world torn apart by conflict with the aid of back projection of film of First World War trenches. The second act moves to the sepia-toned 1950s in the wake of Mussolini’s Fascist dictatorship. Finally, the third act is set amidst the backdrop of today’s warring nations, a land dominated by the eerie blue light of the television cameras that report 24/7 from the frontline of global wars.
