Gina Ness Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Georgebfan...great list. Serenade is my favorite Balanchine ballet, and I noticed it on your list. Did you mean "The Invitation" for MacMillan, which was created for Lynn Seymour? Liked seeing the Tudor ballets in your list... Link to comment

richard53dog Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I've already posted to this thread a while back but I thought of an addition John Cranko Romeo and Juliet The Taming of the Shrew Eugene Onegin I loved these when the Stuttgart ballet came to NYC in the early 70s Link to comment
Gina Ness Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Richard Cragun and Marcia Haydee were absolutely fantastic in "Taming of the Shrew"... Link to comment
richard53dog Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Richard Cragun and Marcia Haydee were absolutely fantastic in "Taming of the Shrew"... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ah yes, they were. One wonders what else John Cranko would have accomplished if he hadn't died at such a young age. Link to comment
fandeballet Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 I agree with the comments on Cranko. I loved the Stuggart Ballet and Cranko's ballets. Especially R&J and Onegin. And Taming of the Shrew with Haydee and Cragun was great!!!!! Not as great with any other couple though. Link to comment

Not as great with any other couple though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was lucky just very recently to see a copy of a Stuttgart performance of Shrew with these two. Although they were about ten years older than when I saw them (as I was too of course!!), they were still were wonderful. I had forgotten just how slapstick it was. It certainly gave Haydee and Cragun to show off their larger than life personalities. Richard Link to comment
