This afternoon's programme of classical masterpieces contrasts the dark grandeur of Mozart's fiery Piano Concerto No. 24 with Prokofiev's dramatic portrayal of Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers and Grieg's first suite from his incidental music to Ibsen's Peer Gynt. Romeo and Juliet is still regarded today as one of the finest ballet scores ever written; this afternoon's programme features excerpts from the three suites that the composer made to showcase the ballet's main numbers.
