Romeo and Juliet (Prokofiev)
''Romeo and Juliet'' ((ロシア語:Ромео и Джульетта)), Op. 64, is a ballet by Sergei Prokofiev based on William Shakespeare's play ''Romeo and Juliet''. Prokofiev reused music from the ballet in three suites for orchestra and a solo piano work.
==Ballet==
Based on a synopsis created by Adrian Piotrovsky (who first suggested the subject to Prokofiev)〔Morrison. ''The People's Artist''(2009): p. 32〕 and Sergey Radlov, the ballet was composed by Prokofiev in September 1935 to their scenario which followed the precepts of "drambalet" (dramatised ballet, officially promoted at the Kirov Ballet to replace works based primarily on choreographic display and innovation).〔Ezrahi. ''Swans of the Kremlin'' (2012): p. 43〕 Following Radlov's acrimonious resignation from the Kirov in June 1934, a new agreement was signed with the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow on the understanding that Piotrovsky would remain involved.〔Morrison. ''The People's Artist''(2009): pp. 32-3〕 However, the ballet's original happy ending (contrary to Shakespeare) provoked controversy among Soviet cultural officials;〔Morrison. ''The People's Artist''(2009): pp. 36-7〕 the ballet's production was then postponed indefinitely when the staff of the Bolshoi was overhauled at the behest of the chairman of the Committee on Arts Affairs, Platon Kerzhentsev.〔Morrison. ''The People's Artist''(2009): p. 37〕 The ballet's failure to be produced within Soviet Russia until 1940 may also have been due to the increased fear and caution in the musical and theatrical community in the aftermath of the two notorious ''Pravda'' editorials criticising Shostakovich and other "degenerate modernists" including Piotrovsky.〔Clark, p. 291〕 The conductor Yuri Fayer met with Prokofiev frequently during the writing of the music, and he strongly urged the composer to revert to the traditional ending. Fayer went on to conduct the first performance of the ballet at the Bolshoi Theatre.
Suites of the ballet music were heard in Moscow and the United States, but the full ballet premiered in the Mahen Theatre, Brno (then in Czechoslovakia, now in the Czech Republic), on 30 December 1938. It is better known today from the significantly revised version that was first presented at the Kirov Theatre in Leningrad on 11 January 1940, with choreography by Leonid Lavrovsky and with Konstantin Sergeyev and Galina Ulanova in the lead roles.
