Stuttgart Ballet, the first major German ballet company. The company, housed in the Württemberg Staatstheater, rose rapidly to fame in the 1960s under the direction of John Cranko (1927–73), who left his position as staff choreographer of Great Britain's Royal Ballet to direct the company in 1961. He recruited spirited young dancers from around the world, staging colorful full-length "story" ballets. These included Romeo and Juliet, Eugene Onegin, The Taming of the Shrew, and Carmen. The company performs throughout Germany and on extensive tours abroad. How to thank TFD for its existence?

The grief that propelled Glen Tetley to create Voluntaries for John Cranko's Stuttgart Ballet just after Cranko's death remains palpable in Houston Ballet's production. They join several other companies recognizing Tetley's 80th year, including Stuttgart Ballet, where Voluntaries premiered in 1973, and the Norwegian National Ballet, which revived his full-length version of The Tempest at the beginning of the year. Today, the most frequently performed version is John Cranko's, which premiered at the Stuttgart Ballet in 1965. |
