A tragic love story is perfect for the drama of ballet and opera – if not for the story’s protagonists!
Prokofiev’s ballet depicts the most infamous ‘star-cross’d lovers’ of them all, Romeo and Juliet, with music that is a brilliant realisation of Shakespeare’s play and some of Prokofiev’s most memorable and instantly appealing work.
Wagner’s Prelude from Tristan und Isolde is a lushly hypnotic, achingly yearning depiction of two more tragic lovers, this time from Renaissance romance.
Pianist Clare Hammond performs Kenneth Hesketh’s Uncoiling the River, a piece which loops round itself, sinuous and labyrinthine, and explores our perception of the passing of time.
