Romeo and Juliet

Thu 13 Nov 7:30pm at Symphony Hall

Andrew Litton credit Steve. J. Sherman

Popular CBSO guest Andrew Litton returns with a colourful programme featuring two brilliant musical responses to Shakespeare: Walton’s score for Laurence Olivier’s 1944 film of Henry V, together with highlights from Prokofiev’s ever-popular ballet (currently featured as the music for the BBC series The Apprentice) premiered six years earlier. Barber’s gloriously lyrical Violin Concerto, composed between these two works, receives its first-ever CBSO performance, played by a dazzling American soloist.

£9.50, £13.50, £17, £20.50, £23.50, £28, £32, £37, £39.50
