Three rare documentaries about the Stuttgart Ballet are also included, making this a must-see for fans of the company. John Cranko, a young choreographer with the Royal Ballet, was invited to join the Stuttgart Ballet in 1961. At the time, there was no ballet company in Germany that was independent of the opera, and Cranko was to nurture this ballet company from the ground up.The company was soon recognized as one of the world's leading ballet companies, thanks to the success of Maricia Heide and others who had been discovered by Cranko. However, in 1973, Cranko died prematurely at the age of 45. Although his sudden death was a great shock to the ballet company, the tradition established by Cranko is still carried on today. Onegin] One of the masterpieces of the choreographic genius John Cranko. Based on Pushkin's novel. Music by Tchaikovsky. The music is not from the opera of the same name, but an arrangement by Kurt-Heinz Stoltze of other pieces. Cranko's "Onegin" is admired by many dancers. Performing in this production are Stuttgart Ballet's leading principals, Friedemann Vogel and Alicia Amatriain, a duo that also appeared in the 2018 tour of Japan. Romeo and Juliet is Shakespeare's masterpiece, a tragic love story that everyone in the world knows. The two main characters are the first to perform the play, and the second to perform it in Japan in 2018. In particular, the balcony scene in which the two main characters are portrayed in their first year is a must-see.Juliet is performed by Elisa Badenes and David Moore, two of the Stuttgart Ballet's most promising young dancers. Based on Shakespeare's comedy with music by Domenico Scarlatti (arranged by Kurt-Heinz Stoltze) and choreographed by John Cranko, this is a masterpiece of comedy ballet that everyone can enjoy. The story is about the marriage of Katharina, the eldest daughter of a wealthy Baptista, and Bianca, the beautiful and good-natured second daughter, and the hilarious depiction of how the dashing and clever Petruchio marries Katharina, "tames" her, and transforms her into a dutiful lady. Katharina is played by Stuttgart Ballet's leading principal Elisa Badenes and Petruchio by veteran principal Jason Reilly. King International
