    "American stage director Cynthia Stokes, responsible for a soundly crafted Marriage of Figaro, last February, brought uncommon poetry and insight to her staging of Roméo et Juliette. When the two lovers meet for the first time at the Capulets’ masked ball, they dance on a stage emptied of other dancers, as it must seem to two young people in love. The bedroom scene was fully erotic without inviting a leer. The tomb scene was gorgeous. I’ve ever seen two people die more beautifully on stage."
