Ballet/Dance Productions

Romeo and Juliet (2008)

I restored the scenario and score of the original (1935) version of this ballet for the Mark Morris Dance Group. The project involved orchestrating act IV (featuring a happy ending) from Prokofiev’s annotations and rearranging the order and adjusting the content of acts I-III. This version of the ballet was premiered on 4 July 2008 and began an international tour the following September.
