A main character of this ballet plays the mandolin during its "Aubade" section. Kenneth MacMillan's popular staging of this ballet departed from tradition by ending a pas de deux with an actual kiss in its "Love Dance" section. The gavotte of this ballet is cribbed from its composer's Classical Symphony. The most popular instrumental piece from this ballet is the "Dance of the Knights". Music from this ballet was rearranged into three (*) orchestral suites by its composer. Based on the fact that "the living can dance, the dying cannot", the original version of this ballet traded the tragic ending of its source with a happy ending, where a title character is stopped from drinking poison in the nick of time. For 10 points, name this Prokofiev ballet based on a Shakespeare play about two lovers.
