Prokofiev from Romeo and Juliet, Op. 75:

No. 6 The Montagues and the Capulets
No. 7 Friar Laurence
No. 4 Juliet, the Young Girl
No. 8 Mercutio

Debussy Études, Book II
Tchaikovsky/Pletnev The Nutcracker Suite
Prokofiev Sonata No. 6

From Debussy’s suspended lyricism to Prokofiev’s rhythmic brilliance and Tchaikovsky’s virtuosic reimagining, Beatrice Rana’s recital explores the piano as a theatrical instrument. The impressionistic visions of Debussy’s Études intertwine with the dramatic moods of Romeo and Juliet and The Nutcracker, culminating in Prokofiev’s Sonata No. 6, written during the dark years of war—a work of profound modernity and restlessness. A program that alternates between vision, virtuosity, and dramatic depth.
