About this concert
A very long time ago…
A very, very long time ago…
(Or maybe even longer than a long time ago)…
There was a street in which two families lived… The two families had been quarrelling for such a long time… that no one could even remember any more what the quarrel was about…
This Children’s Concert introduces us to Romeo and Juliet, the most famous star-crossed lovers of all time. Shakespeare once wrote a play about them, a play which unfortunately does not end well. The composer Tchaikovsky read it and felt so sorry for Romeo and Juliet that he composed for them the most beautiful music he could imagine.
With Tchaikovsky’s music and two actors, the Concertgebouw Orchestra is telling its own version of this age-old story for a young audience. Romeo and Juliet even choose a new ending for themselves…
Text Sanne Schuhmacher, stage direction Caecilia Thunnissen.
