Opening with Bellini’s rarely heard overture on the warring Montagues and Capulets, this celebration of Shakespeare’s timeless love story continues with Linda Kouvaras’ The Nurse’s Curse from She Who Should Have Been a Queen, Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story for two pianos, the Australian premiere of Tchaikovsky’s epic Romeo and Juliet Overture arranged for two pianos by Karl Klindworth, and Ned Rorem’s Four Dialogues, a witty and lyrical set for two voices and two pianos. Performers include pianists Coady Green and Marc Peloquin.
