Film Appreciation Evening: “Romeo & Juliet” Stuttgart Ballet (CANCELLED)
John Cranko's production of "Romeo and Juliet" for the Stuttgart Ballet is considered one of the definitive versions being performed in the world today. Based on Shakespeare's world 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. Set to Sergei Prokofiev's lush score, the ballet contains dramatic roles for the young Juliet and her passionate lover Romeo, for Romeo's impetuous friend Mercutio and for Juliet's bullying relative Tybalt. Breath-taking pas de deux, dashing sword fights, colourful ensemble scenes as well as Jürgen Rose's magnificent sets and costumes evoking the sunlit streets of Verona enhance the action of the ballet while never obscuring the choreography.
