]]>Nina Levy’s review of Graeme Murphy’s production of Sergei Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet by the Australian Ballet appeared in the online version of The West Australian newspaper on October 12, 2012. It includes a photograph by Jeff Busby. Although the review is positive overall, Levy criticises the ‘variety of locations in time and place’. These include ‘medieval-looking vaulted rooms’ which presumably had vaulted ceilings. Ribbed vaulting was a characteristic feature of Gothic architecture of the twelfth to sixteenth centuries.
