Cast and crew, family and friends, converged on the historic town of Berkhamsted in Hertfordshire for the big-screen premiere of Love Song, the film which reveals for the first time the heart-breaking true story behind the creation of Tchaikovsky’s fantasy overture Romeo and Juliet which spawned the world’s most famous love theme.
Based on exclusive ground-breaking research by Tchaikovsky aficionado and award-winning filmmaker Ian Woodward, the biopic drama is a cinematic first that could seriously rock the classical-music Establishment.
At the pre-screening party, Tchaikovsky’s estranged wife Antonina and Tsar Alexander III mingled with the composer’s opera superstar fiancée, his music-student lover and his wealthy patroness. All is revealed below.
