Romeo and Juliet

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev & The Philadelphia Orchestra & Riccardo Muti

Romeo and Juliet is a ballet by Sergei Prokofiev, composed between 1935 and 1936 and first performed in 1938. The score blends late-Romantic orchestration with modernist harmonies, brisk rhythmic vitality and vivid orchestral colour, representing a significant development in Prokofiev's theatrical writing and subsequently entering the standard 20th-century ballet repertoire.
