Summary:
The Stuttgart Ballet revisits John Cranko's legendary "Romeo and Juliet" 55 years after its premiere. The very choreography which laid the foundations for the Stuttgart Ballet Miracle, the company's meteoric rise to fame. Vividly etched characters, breathtaking pas de deux, dashing sword fights, colorful ensemble scenes, magnificent sets and costumes evoking the sunlit streets of Verona--all this is Cranko's "Romeo and Juliet." John Cranko, who led the Stuttgart Ballet from 1961 until his death in 1973, created the choreography of "Romeo and Juliet" especially for his ensemble. Set to Sergei Prokofiev's lush score, Cranko's ballet is one of the definitive versions of the Shakespearean love tale being performed around the globe today.
