This exciting production brings together Stravinsky’s score with Shakespeare’s play: The Rite of Spring / Romeo and Juliet uses Trestle’s expressive character half masks and piano four hands to create a music-oriented physical theatre retelling of Shakespeare’s romantic tragedy.
Conceived by award-winning pianist An-Ting Chang and her innovative theatre company Concert Theatre, the production features concert pianists from the Royal Academy of Music, actors and director trained at the Lecoq School and mask specialists from Trestle Theatre who have designed and created the half masks especially for the show.

About Concert Theatre:
Concert Theatre is a combination form in which classical music and drama are performed live together. Music becomes not just an atmospheric underscore but another language expressed by the musicians, a voice and character in its own right, spoken alongside the actors on the same stage. The two distinct works are presented side by side to create deeper resonance and complexity of interpretation in each and a rich complete performance.
