Stuttgart Ballet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stuttgart Ballet was the first major German ballet company, which rose to fame in the 1960s under president John Cranko in Stuttgart. The company showcased several full-length story ballets, including Romeo and Juliet, Eugene Onegin, The Taming of the Shrew, and Carmen. The company continues to perform, as of 2006. The modern Stuttgart Ballet evolved from the royal ballet that resided at the court of the Duke of Württemberg as early as 1609.
