Stuttgart Ballet to perform signature Shakespeare work

STUTTGART Ballet will bring its landmark production “Romeo and Juliet” to Shang­hai this October.

Adapted from William Shakespeare’s play, the ballet is choreographed by John Cranko. It has become one of Stuttgart Bal­let’s signature shows after its premier in 1962, and today remains one of the most popular versions of the play.

In 1961, Cranko was appointed ballet director in Stuttgart and a new era in the company’s history began. Cranko’s big breakthrough came the following year with “Romeo and Juliet,” which was high­ly praised by critics and audience alike. Based on Shakespeare’s famous tale of two lovers in Renaissance Italy who find themselves caught between their feuding families, Cranko’s vividly etched charac­ters and breathtaking choreography bring this tragedy to splendid life .

The Stuttgart Ballet has been at the forefront of international dance for more than 40 years, attracting audiences and dance talent from all over the world. The show’s first-class technical skill, and per­fect match of music and movement is sure to stun local audiences.
