Thank you for the review! It's the next best thing to seeing it myself. I love the novel Krabat and I also enjoyed the movie with Daniel Brühl when I saw it some years ago. It sounds like a perfect topic for a ballet - slightly creepy, magical, and the books is heavy on symbols and atmosphere rather than detailed plot twists. The score sounds interesting as well. Hopefully I'll be in Stuttgart when they put it on again!
