Xian Zhang conductor Shakespeare’s story of two star-crossed lovers, their warring families, and a sleeping potion that causes calamity has inspired our greatest composers. With the dramatic music of two Russian masters, Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev, the artists of The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey will join us to share a timeless tale of romance, violence, and passion.
