In the grand Russian tradition, the full-length story ballet will feature lushly painted sets, lavish costumes and classic choreography accompanied by the unforgettable music of Sergei Prokofiev. In addition to composing masterworks that include seven symphonies and the beloved Peter and the Wolf, Prokofiev created scores for two of the greatest ballets of the 20th century, “Romeo and Juliet” and “Cinderella.”
