The Family Prokofiev performance presented Romeo and Juliet, a symphonic suite extracted from Prokofiev’s three suites, with the “happy ending” story originally conceived by the composer, to a full house of kids.

The accompanying puppets created by puppet artist Robin Walsh brought a new dimension to a delightful performance for kids and parents alike. Here’s an interview with the artist following the Saturday evening performance.
