The intoxicating fantasy-overture Romeo and Juliet opens the first of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment's two Tchaikovsky programmes, and both versions of the piece (separated by 11 years) are performed. The programme also includes a fragment from a planned but never completed opera of Romeo and Juliet - a tender and passionate duet, orchestrated from a piano score left by Tchaikovsky. The concert is also an opportunity to hear Tchaikovsky's incidental music to Hamlet, interspersed and overlaid with text from the play.

Royal Festival Hall at 6.15pm: Vladimir Jurowski discusses Hamlet. Admission free.
