The Interlochen Arts Academy production of Romeo and Juliet by Prokofiev will be presented February 11, 12 and 13 in Corson Auditorium.
Joseph Morrissey, Interlochen Center for the Arts Director of Dance, shared selections from the ballet on Music at Midday and talked about the upcoming performances.
Morrissey differentiates Romeo and Juliet from familiar ballets like The Nutcracker or The Sleeping Beauty.
“This is really not so much about a magic or an abracadabra kind of thing,” he said, ”as it really is about a human experience. There’s and emotion. There’s a power. There’s a depth that I think everyone will be able to relate to in this ballet.”
