Whether you’re on Team Montague or cheering for Team Capulet, you’re sure to enjoy the Hawai'i Symphony Orchestra's month-long Shakespeare Festival. Two upcoming concerts feature the tragedy and romance of “Romeo & Juliet” in two ways – Prokofiev's ballet and Tchaikovsky's fantasy overture.
Michael-Thomas Foumai, HSO's composer-in-residence, showed his Team Shakespeare spirit on Evening Concert and previewed his composition “Lady Dark,” based on Shakespeare's sonnets. The concerts will also feature poetry readings and dance by Ballet Hawaiʻi.
