22nd September, Romeo and Juliet, a family performance at the Auditorio Víctor Villegas in Murcia

Giant puppets enact Shakespeare’s classic to the music of Prokofiev at the Murcia auditorium

The 2019/20 family concert cycle begins at the Auditorio Víctor Villegas in Murcia on Sunday 22^nd September with a performance of Romeo and Juliet in which the Region of Murcia Symphony Orchestra collaborate with the “Per Poc” company, telling the story of Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers as giant puppets cavort on stage to the music of Sergei Prokofiev.

All of the events in this cycle are aimed at youngsters who are just discovering the sounds of orchestras and some of the best-known works and composers and are shorter than those programmed for adult audiences. All contain elements of fun, laughter and audience participation, and of course there is no rule against parents and other adults enjoying them as well and making them a Sunday lunchtime treat for all the family!

For each event a pre-concert activity begins at 11.15, when the performers explain to young concertgoers (and their grown-up companions) a little about their day-to-day lives and the music which will be performed.

The performance at the Auditorio Víctor Villegas in Murcia on 22^nd September begins at 12.00 midday with tickets priced at 10 euros, although season tickets for all six events in the cycle can also be purchased for 42 euros: click for further information.
