Opera Australia brings to Perth the much-loved West Side Story, inspired by Romeo and Juliet. Set in the mid 1950s in New York City, the musical explores the rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks, two teenage street gangs of different ethnic backgrounds. Tony, a former member of the Jets falls in love with Maria, the sister of Bernardo, the leader of the Sharks. The dark theme, sophisticated music, extended dance scenes, and focus on social problems marked a turning point in musical theatre. Memorable songs include ''Something''s Coming'', ''Maria'', ''Tonight'' and ''Somewhere''.
