Set in 20th century Italian society, this updated version of the classic story is especially relevant for contemporary audiences as it goes beyond an exploration of family strife to position Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers against a backdrop of complicated politics and war.┬á Propelled by Sergei Prokofiev's lushly dramatic 1935 score - accompanied by the Joffrey Ballet Orchestra: Members of the Chicago Philharmonic - Pastor's classical yet contemporary ballet version of Romeo & Juliet, while without words, "might just be the most eloquent, rapturous, emotionally searing 'translation' of the story you will ever see." – The Chicago Sun-Times
