The Stuttgart Ballet in Tokyo

I went to see Stuttgart Ballet perform the unusual work, The Taming of the Shrew, in Ueno at Tokyo Bunka Kaikan. It is a beautiful piece based on Shakespeare's play, with lots of laughs. The music was written by Kurt-Heinz Stolze in the classical style of Domenico Scarlatti but with some modern inspiration as well - it premiered in 1969. Choreography by John Cranko.

The Stuttgart ballet is a terrific troupe and I highly recommend anyone who like classical music to take the opportunity to go and see their Swan Lake on Tuesday or Wednesday June 5-6.

Here is the Pas de Deux 1:
