It is the birthday of Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev (1891), who may be best known for the opera The Love for Three Oranges (1919), based on a fairy tale; the ballet Romeo and Juliet (1935), based on Shakespeare's play; and Peter and the Wolf (1936), a children's story with orchestra music and a narrator. Here is the Dance of the Knights from Romeo and Juliet. The music was used in a French commercial for Chanel's Egoiste fragrance in the 1990s.
