Prokofiev Selections from Romeo and Juliet 

Two feuding families. One iconic love story. Some of the most powerful, punchy, and passionate music ever written, played by a giant orchestra… It can only be Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet!

Presented by the ever-energetic Jessie Grimes, and performed by the mighty National Symphony Orchestra Ireland, this interactive show invites the whole family to sing, move, and join in with the dazzling orchestral colours of Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet.

You’ll meet sword-fighting Montagues and Capulets, sneak into the famous balcony scene, and feel the full force of one of music’s greatest tragedies – brought vividly to life by a full symphony orchestra.

This bold, immersive musical adventure is perfect for ages 6 and up, including those with ASD. This relaxed, inclusive event is all about big feelings, beautiful music, and fun for everyone.

This event includes Irish Sign Language (ISL) interpretation.
