UWSO: Romeo and Juliet
Symphony Orchestra
Location: BCPA Concert Hall - 11-21-2025 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm (America/Denver) (1 hour)

Certainly Shakespeare’s Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet has captured more hearts—and generated more tears—than any other story in the western canon. Film versions abound, Gounod’s opera is a perennial favorite, and West Side Story was groundbreaking on Broadway. In the ballet world, Prokofiev’s 1935 score stands out as a  20 th century masterpiece, and orchestral performances of selected sections abound, even without the dancers. That’s what’s in store for UW Symphony fans, as the UWSO performs an extended suite from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet on Friday, Nov. 21, at 7:30 p.m. in the Buchanan Center Concert Hall.
