Stuttgart's Ballet in the Park: A Celebration of Dance and Talent

The John Cranko School of the Stuttgart Ballet put on a spectacular show at this year's Ballett im Park, a free outdoor ballet event held in Stuttgart's Upper Palace Gardens. Thousands of spectators gathered to witness the performances of both the professional Stuttgart Ballet company and the promising students of the John Cranko School[1][2].

The 2025 program at Ballett im Park featured a broadcast of Maximiliano Guerra’s vibrant family ballet Don Quixote by the Stuttgart Ballet on Saturday, followed by a powerful and hopeful matinee showcasing the young talents of the John Cranko School on Sunday[1]. This event offers a glimpse into the future of dance, highlighting the school's significance as a premier ballet academy closely linked to the Stuttgart Ballet company[1][2][3].

The event drew a diverse and large crowd, including all age groups, who were eager to watch the performance on the large screen. The relaxed atmosphere of watching ballet on the lawn was appreciated by many, such as Andreas and Birgit, who are passionate ballet goers with a special love for the Stuttgart ensemble[4]. Young women Büsra and Miriam, along with a baby, also attended the event, finding it interesting and a new experience[5].

Ballett im Park aims to lower barriers and inspire young people to engage with classical dance by broadcasting school performances alongside professional productions in a free, communal setting[1][2]. By doing so, the event fosters broader public appreciation and encourages youth involvement in ballet[1][2]. The John Cranko School, renowned for training dancers who advance into leading ballet companies worldwide, further highlights its significance in developing the next generation of ballet artists[3].

In other news, Elisa Carrillo Cabrera has returned as director to Stuttgart, replacing Tadeusz Matacz who is retiring at the end of the year[6]. The broadcast of the John Cranko School's matinee was briefly interrupted due to rain, but the lawn by the Eckensee was reopened for the audience around 1 pm[7]. Meanwhile, Russian troops are attempting to capture the north of a city in Ukraine[8].
