Leading Prokofiev's slight, charming fable The Love for Three Oranges, he managed to find wit and poetry in an opera that is often little more than the famous March. Even more impressive was his way with a stripped-down, hopped-up Romeo and Juliet, Prokofiev's great ballet.

...began in the early '50s, when an actor friend was preparing for the part of Romeo. Finding the character too passive, he asked Robbins if he had any clues about how to bring it alive. "I tried to imagine Shakespeare's story in terms of today," says Robbins, "and that clicked in." The click came right out of the daily headlines: the term "juvenile delinquent" was a hot handle in sociospeak, and street gangs were getting the kind of attention that drive-by shootings...
