RSNO: Naked Classics–Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet
- Website: www.nakedclassics.org.uk
Valentine's Day may have passed but there's plenty of passion to go around in Prokofiev's classic ballet score. Featuring the epically grandiose 'March of the Knights', surely the only number to have been used as walk-on music by both Iron Maiden and The Smiths.

RSNO - Naked Classics: Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet
Stéphane Denève (conductor) Paul Rissmann (presenter) Royal Scottish National Orchestra
In Stalin’s Russia, tragedy was banned. So how could a composer set Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet to music? Luckily for us, Sergei Prokofiev knew a trick or two – and tonight, Paul Rissmann, the full RSNO and Music Director Stéphane Denève blow the gaff on one of the most passionate of all ballet scores. If you only know Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet as the theme tune to The Apprentice, trust us: you don’t know the half of it!
