Description:

Romeo and Juliet, a masterpiece ballet choreographed by Christian Spook, Zurich Ballet & conducted by Mikhail Jurowski, who has been the artistic director of the Zurich Ballet since the 2012/13 season. This production was Spook's first choreography in Zurich in 2012. Romeo and Juliet is a ballet adaptation of a play written over 400 years ago by Shakespeare, and is a masterpiece with beautiful and sensitive music by Prokofiev. Christian Spouk's stage is simple, with no ornate decorations, and depicts the detailed emotions of human beings. William Moore as Romeo stands out with his impressive curly hair and charming dancing that will make anyone fall in love with him. Katya Wünsche as Juliet beautifully portrays the delicacy of adolescence and rebellion against her parents. Juliet wears a transparent white dress and her long hair is pulled back like a schoolgirl's, emphasizing the innocence of a young girl.The two dancers who play these young lovers skillfully dance Spook's extremely precise and intricate choreography, and their perfect acting skills captivate the audience through their bodies, conveying feelings of happiness and despair. Prokofiev's music, an important element of the work, is also presented with high contrast and rich expressiveness by Philharmonia Zurich, with good support from the famous Russian conductor Mikhail Jurowski (father of Vladimir Jurowski, who has been remarkably active in recent years).
