Vérone /leningrad – Palais des Congrès Neptune, Toulon

About this event

This is a symphonic concert presented by Opéra de Toulon under the title VÉRONE /LENINGRAD. The programme combines excerpts from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet with two works by Dmitri Shostakovich, creating a programmatic link between Shakespeare's Verona tragedy and the Soviet musical context suggested by the title. Victorien Vanoosten conducts, with Xavier Phillips as cello soloist. The official materials identify no director, choreographer, set designer, costume designer, lighting designer, or other staging team. The presentation is in concert format, with no separate theatrical production concept published. The concert takes place at Palais Neptune in Toulon, in the Auditorium Dr François Trucy.
