Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet

Prokofiev depicted the star-crossed romance of Romeo and Juliet with ardent lyricism and great melodic inventiveness, while in Four Spirits, Abel Selaocoe tells the story of South Africa using his powerful voice, explosive rhythms, and astounding creativity. At the crossroads of traditions, these two soundscapes come together for a glorious musical experience and, with Selaocoe’s participatory work, an uncommon concert experience.
