Note from Mike Zonta, editor of the Bathtub Bulletin:

Yes, this is a tragic love story.  And I went in thinking that’s all it was.  But it is also a story of bringing together two warring camps, the Montagues and the Capulets, who otherwise would never have embraced.

Here’s Prokofiev’s musical salute to “The Montagues and the Capulets”:

The National Youth Orchestra of Canada’s play a Koerner Hall concert as part of the 2012 Toronto Summer Music Festival. Watch as they perform Serge Prokofiev’s The Montagues and the Capulets.
