Reviews & Press

 
 

Prokofiev - Romeo and Juliet

An even greater tsunami of ovations flooded the Gewandhaus Orchestra. The sound coming from the pit was definitely top class. The constant alternation between lyrical expanses and Prokofiev's angular mass scenes for the story ballet, which premiered in Brno in 1938 and was originally planned with a happy ending, was impressive. The dark abruptness of William Shakespeare's tragedy sounds as cultivated and brilliant on Augustusplatz as the slow movements of the love scenes. Anna Skryleva wants nothing to do with the Russian style of ballet conducting - i.e. the sinewy, opulent and somewhat pathetic condensations à la Gennady Rozhdestvensky and Algis Shuraitis. Disciplined and elegiac, it is instead oriented towards the top-class virtues of the Gewandhaus Orchestra: Cantabile beauty with an addictive factor, but also with avoidance strategies against Prokofiev's seething nervous drama. The warning function of the plot against overheated passion in Shakespeare and other adaptations was irrelevant for Lovette and Skryleva.

The Gewandhausorchester Leipzig also contributes to this delightful, acclaimed evening... Under the direction of the conductor Anna Skryleva, they let Prokofiev's music resound in all its sharpness and harshness, but also in its most sensitive lyricism.

Theater Magdeburg - Eugen Engel - Grete Minde - Conductor

“People should expect a strong personal story about the fairness and justice,” Skryleva said. She described the music as having “the sound of late Romanticism” heavily influenced by Richard Wagner, Richard Strauss and Erich Wolfgang Korngold.
