RSNO - Naked Classics: Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet at Usher Hall

Cost: £10 - ltd concessions available
Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet

Stéphane Denève (conductor)
Paul Rissmann (presenter)
Royal Scottish National Orchestra

Luckily for us, Sergei Prokofiev knew a trick or two - and tonight, Paul Rissmann, the full RSNO and Music Director Stéphane Denève blow the gaff on one of the most passionate of all ballet scores.
