Learning on ScreenRomeo and Juliet in Kansas City
- Synopsis
- US music series presenting classical music on television. The Kansas City Philharmonic, led by conductor Jorge Messter, plays Tchaikovsky’s fantasy-overture in the Cowtown Ballroom before an audience of young people. "Here the focus broadens to include the listeners, whose faces become a reflecting surface for the dramatic conflicts of the tone poem, and who themselves might well be embodiments of Shakespeare’s universal protagonists" (Alan M. Kriegsman, The Washington Post). Interspersed with quotations from the play. [With acknowledgment to Zoran Sinobad, LIbrary of Congress, for providing the synopsis].
