The Stuttgart Ballet returns to Sadler’s Wells for a week this November with two performances that blend the classic and the cutting-edge. Under the leadership of artistic director Reid Anderson, brand new and multifaceted medley Made in Germany is followed by a return to the company’s roots in a revival of founder John Cranko’s 1969 The Taming of the Shrew. If you can, see both.
The Stuttgart Ballet has a reputation for innovative and unusual dance after fifty years at the frontier of choreographic innovation, and it doesn’t disappoint with Made in Germany: a mixed bill of 12 classical and contemporary pieces show casing the best of, and breadth of, the company’s repertoire. Choreographies by company founder John Cranko sit alongside seven world premieres from resident choreographers Marco Goeke and Demis Volpi, as well as new comers Katarzyna Kozielska and Roman Novitsky.
Cranko’s The Taming of the Shrew brings quick wit and light relief to the latter half of the week.Young British soloist David Moore stars as Lucentio, performing in the wake of his recent nomination for the German FAUST theatre prize for his lead performance in the world premiere of Krabat (March 2013). With a traditional edge, featuring wonderfully ostentatious period costumes and set to the baroque music of Scarlatti,Cranko’s take on one of Shakespeare’s best-loved comedies is quick-paced and light-hearted.
Don’t miss this one-week-long opportunity to see the Stuttgart Ballet showcase their tremendous repertoire. Catch them while you can.

A little bit more...

  • WHERE TO EAT

    There are plenty of good restaurants on the nearby St. John Street. A favourite of ours is a little way down, near Smithfield Market: St John Bar and Restaurant offers a daily menu of top quality, seasonal classics with a legendary wine list. The bar can be busy but it adds to the atmosphere.

  • TRY EXMOUTH MARKET

    This pedestrianised street of independent shops is definitely worth an afternoon visit.Try Caravan for some in-house roasted coffee. It looks out over the market where, on Fridays and Saturdays, you can peruse for edible treats.

  • PARKING TIPS

    It is quite easy to parknear Sadler’s Wells. There is a single yellow line on Roseberry Avenue for parking after 6.30 on Weekdays and on Sundays.

    It you can’t find any space left on that one, try Arlington Way. It is one of the best kept secrets for parking spots in the area.

  • ABOUT SADLER'S WELLS

    Buoyant in its belief in dance as “ t he art form of the moment ”, Sadler’s Wells has endured a 300-year history and five re-builds.

    The site on which its changing façades have stood was originally famed for the discovery of  monastic springs in the 17th Century. Rumours of the water’s medicinal properties spread far and wide – so far and so wide that the exclusiveness of the theatre diminished, as did the calibre of the clientele! Today, Sadler’s Wells is certainly one of London’s swankiest venues.
